Page 76 Continue - Condor- the Condor walked away from the Carcass and up a small hillside and there ran a few steps, flapped its wings and flew and jumped up on top of a fencepost was on top of this small hillside and perhaps 100 yard from where the two men were standing, leaning on the wire on north side of highway. A car came by, on the highway, two men inside - Paul Freeborn stopped this car and asked if two occupants had they ever seen a California Condor - They said no, but that they had heard of them before, These two men joined Paul and his helper, looking at this Condor on post and Mr. Freeborn told the two strangers they were seeing a rare sight as this was one of the remaining sixty or these birds left in the world. Paul Freeborn then told his helper to cross through the fence and see how close he could approach the Condor before it would fly - This the helper did and Mr. Freeborn showed me a comparable distance from where we stood that this Condor let the helper approach where it sat on the post before it flew. I would judge the distance to be about 40 yards 120 feet.
