p-204 - Continued- Neuach Antelope Valley California Condor Eben McMillan 25 July 1963 food - poison coyotes Shot by/shot poisoning camp where Dan and I had visited with him on 16 June 1963. They had seen no condor since that date even though they had killed many squirrels, Rats as well as 17 Coyotes that they had found dead from having eaten the poisoned squirrels. They had seen few Buzzards and Raven where they had poisoned. Dan Garcia told me that the Buzzard we had looked behind his Cabin, on 16 June, and which we thought have been poisoned, had been shot by his boy. The buzzard had come to feed on a dead Quail near the Cabin where boy had shot it with a pistol. Dan said he had given a strong talk about the unnecessary shooting of wild creatures. Since the week of June 10, 1963 Dan has been Poisoning Squirrels on the East side of Tejon Mountains. Just today he is moving his crew to area South and East of Lebec. I will visit him there next Wednesday. Dan Garcia also told me that he was telling his boss in Bakersfield, Ben Easley, about the Project Ian and were doing on the Condor. Ben Easley had known of Brown Condor at Granite Station and called Mrs Brown to find if she still had it, only to find we already had the specimen in our possession. Dan Garcia told me that he had heard of another dead Condor in the Granite Station area or Ben Easley had heard of it. This specimen was so far decomposed when found that no one had ever picked it up. The impression Dan received was that both Condors had been poisoned. Dan had heard of the Poison grain falling from the Brown when found. Driving back past where I had left the Sheep Carcass, noted that while I had been talking to Dan Garcia a (Ben Easley) (dead condor) (entered previously) death Condor poison
