California Condor Eben McMillan 19 June 1963 Said he watched the condor run the dogs away from the horse carcass and would not let them return appetites until they, the condors, had satisfied their appetites. G.W. Reynolds does not think condor have ever roosted overnight in the large Valley Oak trees that grow in the canyon where the Matey home is located. He will be watching for condor now and will keep records for us of their numbers etc. as well as phone us in the event something unusual appears to take place. It will be interesting to see if increased interest in condor, brought on by our visiting these people and discussing condor, will bring forth more than usual observation records. Turkey Vultures Mr. Reynolds, as did Mr. Del Nero, mentioned the scarcity of Turkey Vultures in the Hungry Valley area. Both of those men think Squirrel Poison has done away with most Buzzards. I saw several Turkey Vultures circling above on the mountainside to the left of 99 highway as I passed out of the mountains and entered the flats via the Grapevine Canyon. It was cool in the Los Angeles basin. Smog and fog was responsible for poor visibility. Clearing took place as we proceeded up 99 Northward and the temperature rose. The temperature was 88 degrees in Matey home in Hungry Valley and 102 degrees in Bakersfield.
