Page 97 --Continued-- Navajo California Condor 9 June, 196 northwestward until going out of sight behind the Navajo Ridge again, and from there, after reappearing again, gaining much altitude and going straight down the San Juan River Valley, northward, until lost from sight at 1:18 P.M. I waited for something to return to this sheep camp until 3:30 p.m. Nothing came so drove home by way of Carissa Plains and Piñol Spring where I stopped. Checked in with a newly arrived shepherd that had camped with his flock 1/2 mile north of Piñol Spring on Carissa Plains-Bitterwater Valley Road. These sheep belong to Jose Esparrían and Take Martínez and will be in the area all summer. Esparrían told me that although he has had sheep on La Panza Ranch and the Piñol Ranch for six summers he has never seen Condors, or at least seen them. Esparrían told me he also has a band of sheep on the La Panza Ranch two miles southwest of Carissa Plains Store. He informed me that he would instruct his herder to be on the lookout for Condors and to make note of any they might see and give me this information when come again. I noticed that Two Guns were standing in the rear of the horse-trailer that the shepherd lives in. Home and wrote up notes in evening.
