California Condor. Eben McMillan 26 July 1963 Charley Poole has not seen Condor in Caliente Creek, or anywhere, in the last 7 or 8 years. He formally saw them regularly out to the South and East of where he now resides at Loraine Corner. Mr. Poole is a great deer hunter as well as having helped kill 24 mountain lion in the last 9 years. Four or five Condor used to be the limit of the group's. Once about Nine years ago he saw 9 Condor in one flock in the Indian Creek tributary of Caliente Creek. He has not seen a Condor for many years. May Arnold who is now staying with her son, in his home, two miles up Caliente Creek from Sand Canyon Store, and Community School, and who up until three or four months ago lived on, and operated, her own Cattle Ranch at the headwaters of Indian Creek, a tributary of Caliente Creek, told me of seeing two Condor in the Cache Peak area to the South and East of her ranch about Two years ago--She also saw Condor frequently in early days in the Indian Creek area, but would think them much less plentiful now. Emil H. Ritter, who now operates the Ranch that is situated two miles up Indian Creek from Loraine Corner and on which [illegible] Charlie Poole saw the Nine Condor 7 or 8 years ago, has not seen Condor on this Ranch since he moved here fifteen years ago. Mr. Ritter did see between 15 and 17 Condor on the ground and Circling in the air. Near Huttejon Ranch Corrals in White Wolf Pass about Five Years ago. He was quite sure Squirrel Poisoning was going on there at the time for he remembers seeing men on horseback riding near where the Condor were. Mr. Ritter says he shoots all Eagles that he sees for he feels they deplete the deer Population.
