california CONDOR Eben mcMillan 24 JUNE 1963 Claimed to be a student at U.S.C. in Los Angeles, and a member of the Cinema Department of that school, Called from Paso Robles and wanted directions as to where he could photograph Condor. He said he had long lenses and would only need to get reasonably close in order to photograph the birds either on the wing or possibly coming in to food. He said he had been to the Tejon Ranch and had inquired there about Condor. One of the Officials told him there was a study going on regarding Condor at the present, and that he would try and get the names of the Persons who were doing this Study. This Mr. Whiting said he had read Kofords monograph of the Condor and from this had come to San Luis Obispo, County, hunting for Condor as the monograph had mentioned the Cholame flats, near Cholame, Cal., as a good place to see Condor. He also said he had talked with Ed Harrison who told him he thought there were about 38 Condor left. Harrison also told him of the present Study of the Condor in progress and that the McMillan's, from Shandon, were doing the work with the University of California as director. He wanted to come out and talk with me but I discouraged this by telling him I had no information available except that I was a rancher, on whose property Condor had come to feed in the past, and that any information I could give would only hinder the research work being conducted. I told him that I could not prevent him from coming to Cholame to look for Condor, but that were he to enter onto any property unauthorized he could be arrested and hailed into Court.
