Page 140 Continue- California Condor Elca McMillan 27 June There is strong indication that this is that same bird and that it is remaining in this area to feed or else it was hatched somewhere nearby, and is still a resident. Carl Krofoud identified this young condor as between one and two years old. He felt it probable that the adult condor we saw on two occasions, this morning, could have been one of the parents of this young bird, that there still remained some family ties between them. The young condor after circling high while drifting across the river to the east side of the valley then returned and circled above the sharp carcass that was already being visited by one Turkey Buzzard that had returned to feed on it and several more Buzzards were circling above in the air. The young condor circled above this location for about 10 minutes then gaining altitude drifted down to the Southwest and passed from view. a stiff, cool, west wind blew most of the day - The air was very clear and the sun bright. Visibility was excellent. The young condor was first seen at 2:40 P.M. and last passed from our view at 3:20 P.M.
