California Condor Eben Mcmillan 31 may-1963 It was cloudy bright as a drove to the Navajo, via San Juan and French Camp. Stopped Camp Tender for Rudnick Sheep Interests as I entered the Navajo Creek field, who told me that Coyotes had killed three or four Lambs on the San Juan River, below the La Panza Bridge, but that he had Seen no Pajaro Grande (Condor) of late. I then drove up Navajo Creek to Camp of herder, Ignacio, who told me he had seen four Condor last Thursday, close by the Pump and Tank that are located for the highway two miles Northwest of La Panza Ranch house. He also told me no Coyotes had bothered his herd of Ewes that are grazing on the range. I then drove down highway towards La Panza Ranch, noticing the complete Job of overgrazing that is being done on the Navajo Range. Stopping to open the gate into the River field North of the highway, to the west of the La Panza Bridge, I saw a Condor circling high above and to the North. This Condor drifted Northward as it circled. I drove down river one mile to where a flock of about 300 Ewes and their Newborn Lambs remain without a herder. 30 Turkey Buzzards were scattered about this area, some feeding on dead Ewes and Lambs, and many circling in the air. The Condor, I had seen at the gate, still circled above this area, but never came very low. I first saw this Condor at 10:45 A.M. and at 11:00 A.M. it flew away to the West, remaining high. A brisk North Wind was blowing and the sky was still overcast with high clouds, Seeing several spots where the Turkey Buzzards were feeding in groups, I left the pickup on
