California Condor- Eben McNillan 14 June 1963 Ian arrived here at 1:00 p.m. and with my pickup loaded with camp gear we left for Tejon Ranch. Stopped at Tejon Ranch Office, in Lebec, where we got key to south and west end of ranch as well as what information concerning the ranch roads in the back country, which was not too much, then drove to Gorman on highway 99 and then out on Old Ridge Route to Sandberg where we checked in at Fire Control Station No.77 of Los Angeles County where a Capt. Philip Goodell was in charge. Capt. Goodell had seen Condor in the past but not this year. He knows Condor and will be on the lookout for them. We then drove to top of Liebre Mountain where we chatted with Mrs. Mary Stahl who operates the U.S. Forest Service lookout there. Mary Stahl sees Condor pass by her lookout station occasions, but has seen none this year. She was of the opinion that hunters who frequent the Liebre Mountain area during the deer hunting season would shoot at anything that moves. Mrs. Stahl thought the Los Angeles hunter to be far inferior to other hunters, She made this known to us by saying, "If you have never seen these Los Angeles Hunters then you don't even know what people will do with a gun and some booze. Mrs. Stahl has been on Liebre Mt. Lookout for five years. She probably knows Condor and has been sending in her sight records to the U.S. Forest Service. We drove to Public Camp Ground that is situated about one half mile on up the ridge east of the Lookout and camped there for the night. The Liebre Mountain Campground would tend to substantiate Mrs. Stahl's description of the Los Angeles Deer Hunter. Every object about the Campground, that was shootable was riddled with bullet holes or shotgun shot
