p.209 -continued- Tehachapi California Condor Eben Mcmillan 26 Ju went on. This lady couldn't get Chicken eggs to hatch - I drove to Keene where the fire crew had no now word of condor. [illegible], the fellow who was in charge of the station here at Keene, had only been moved here from Mojave two weeks ago, and knew nothing of condor but was interested and wanted to be of help if possible. The McCarthy's were not home at Bealville - Mrs. Mary Hennig who with her parents the Lawrence Browns, run the general store at Caliente. Mrs. Hennig told me of seeing one condor in the road and at least two more on the nearby hillside one afternoon about two years ago. This was north and east of Caliente, on the Lien Trail road. She also took the school children from the Caliente school to a spot about 4 miles down-river from Caliente to see 8 or 9 Condor feeding on a dead cow. She had seen the condor when returning from Bakersfield. This was 6 or 7 years ago. Mrs. Hennig will keep Condor notes for us, I drove on up Caliente creek stopping to chat with three fellows working on the road who knew of Condor, had not seen any of late. One of these men had seen condor on top of Cummings mountain, during the summer when he built a road there. Van Zachery of Loraine Fire Station at Keene Co.

As Buck - - , who ma the Toll Gate Lookout between Loraine and Keene, said he doubted that condor came by Toll Gate but that he had seen them on Blue mountain look To the north of Glenville when he relieved the OP there at times - Buck will be on the lookout job
