Page 148 -Continued- NMAJO California Condor Eben McMillian 1 July 1963 Condor adult. Pickup Car. Looking up I saw an adult Condor flying out over the center of the river Valley in an easterly direction. I watched it with the binoculars as it reached the East side of the Valley and there turn Northward and seem to loaf along, circling at times - and going no where in particular. I continued on to the pickup and drove it up the river eastward three eights of a mile and there backed it under a Cotton Tree, out of sight from above, and waited, watching. Soon Buzzards came in and circled the spot where the [illegible] were, but they were very suspicious. One Buzzard dropped to ground and remained near the carcasses for two or three minutes only to fly away again. While watching the Buzzards circling the area near the carcasses I saw an adult Condor come out of the draw flapping its wings and not over 200 ft. from the ground. This bird must have flew into the [illegible] while I was watching the Buzzards and I did not see it until it turned to come out of the Draw. This Condor flew a the river valley pumping its wings and only commence circling and gaining altitude after it reached the foothill on the east side of the Valley, I took several photos of it as it circled, but it was too far away for the prints to be effective in identification. This bird had several ragged gaps in the wings and the 3rd and 6th primaries on the left wing but how and somewhat shorter then the other primary feathers. This could be the same bird I have seen before and have called it the Ragged bird. It circled about along the east side of the river Valley and then appeared to drift Northward and was lost from sight. The Buzzards left at 3:10 P.M. The Buzzards returned to the area where the carcasses were, first one alighted and walked to one of the Jackrabbit carcasses and commenced eating. Soon others dropped in from all sides
