Page 83 Continued - Condor Eben McMillan 1 June - 196 Northward. As this Condor sailed Northward, a Red Tailed Hawk came from high above and dove on it. Even though the Hawk kept a respectful distance, nevertheless the young Condor gave a defensive dive for about 100 ft. and turned its course Westward. Sailed across the river valley until it came close to the ground, above a brush covered knoll about one and one half mile North and West of where now stood near the pickup truck. As this Condor circled, even at that distance, I could make out the dark brown color on the back of the wings quite well. Very little glint was seen on the back of this bird as is the case with old birds. This Condor circled above this brush covered knoll for about 5 minutes before it reached a good elevation and sailed Northeastward across the river valley. After getting above the center of the valley, the young Condor circled here. It was here that I tried to change from binoculars to a spotting scope to better follow the bird, when I lost sight of it and could not pick it up again. It was 12:50 P.M. when this young Condor was last seen. I hiked to the spot in the river where the young Condor had landed and there found and photographed its tracks in the soft sand as well as the deep tracks when it looked to me where it landed. I also walked down the river and photographed the Condor tracks I saw there this morning. Nothing had come to feed on the sheep carcass a had cut open when I left the area at 3:45 P.M.
