california Condor Eben McMillan 8 July 1963 in the part of his ranch that drops over the ridge into the Dark Hole Country. Reg said these Condor were not big, stretching his arms out to full width to show the spread of their wings, and that he saw white under the wings. His thinking was that they had to be Young Condor for they were not as large as the Condor he had seen several years ago on the Buckhorn Ranch, that is five or six miles southeast of the Boartop Rocks area. Mr. Freeman will be on the lookout for Condor. It was 6:15 A.M. when I drove down into the Cholame flats from the Reg Freeman Ranch and stopping to put the scope on the dead calf carcass that was directly across the valley from me. I could make out several birds feeding on the carcass. I therefore drove up the valley and crossed over to the County road at the Irrigation Camp, taking this County road on down to a point opposite the Carcass. Stopped and put the scope on the birds that were then feeding there. Two adult Condor and four Turkey Buzzards were about the carcass. This was at 6:35 A.M., One of the Condor at the carcass seemed to have been well filled up already for it only pulled at the meat on occasion. The other Condor was intent on feeding and pulled and tugged at the carcass that showed signs of having been mostly devoured. The condor that was not so hungry walked about the carcass, making intimidating and menacing advances towards the Buzzards that would run from the Condor when it moved towards them. When both Condor had finished feeding, the one that had not been feeding opened its wings and immediately took into the air and flew about 200 feet to a hillside where both spent sometime rubbing their necks on the ground.
