California condor Eben McMillan 11 July 1963
Condor kill Calves
others in this community that Mrs. Farnsworth
thinks Condor kill calves. She gave no indication of
her
this when I talked with she and Freeland today. Bo.
She and Mr. Farnsworth think Condor come to their
area in August each year at the time their
heifers are calving. Evidently these heifers, who
giving birth to their first calf, often die in the
process themselves, or at least loose their calf
in the process. This furnishes food for Condor.

The Farnsworths saw five Condor in August
of 1962. Mrs. Farnsworth told me of seeing
19 Condor "in the early 1950's." She saw these
Condor about the same time Wold was going around
about the Condor Nesting in the Tule River Indian
Reservation.
Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth will keep records
on all Condor they sight in the future.
Mr. Brown Condor
At the Ranch of Mrs. Margaret Brown I photog
Mrs. Brown standing by the Condor carcass that
hung on the back of her barn as a background.
then wrapped the Condor remains in the Canvas
Cover of my Sleeping Bags, then loaded it in club
of my pickup and drove to the home of Carl W
that is to the west of Granite Station about Two
miles. Mr. West has been in the Granite Station area
for many years. He became interested in Condor
about 8 years ago after having been indoctrinated
in their value by Edna Williams. Until this time
Carl West had not noticed Condor. We now think
Condor come to the Granite Station area in early spring
about the time Squirrel Poisoning Commences.
