Rattlesnake Grade - Continued - California Condor Eben McMillan 9 August 1963 I drove up the Rattlesnake Grade, Towards Oak flat and Greenhorn mountain stopping at the Ranch home of Glenn Record who was in the process of putting a pump on a new well that had just been drilled in their yard. Glenn Record thinks Condor are more plentiful now than they have ever been. He said he had seen more Condor, at one time, in the last ten years than there is supposed to be living. It seems that many of these people have read a Newspaper report where someone was supposed to have stated that there are less than 25 Condor living. Young Record claims to have seen more than that number within the last ten years. Young Glenn Record also said he had seen a dead Condor about 5 years ago, in the area where they own property near Granite Station. He will try to get more information about this dead Condor to have for me the next time I happen that way. The senior Records, Hazel and Glenn Sr., who live on the Granite Station Ranch, and pass from the Rattlesnake Grade via the Rancheria Country to this ranch, have seen many Condor in this area in the past. All the Records will help us by keeping records of Condor observations in the future. Mrs. Hazel Record is an accomplished Naturalist and has been interested in botany particularly. Record Senior saw about 26 Condor somewhere near 1942 in the foothill country below Rattlesnake Grade, he also saw about seven Condor, 8 or 10 years ago near John Rofer Ranch in the Rancheria area. I drove to Oak Flat Lookout where Mrs. Helen King told me she had seen an adult Condor yesterday at 3:30 P.M. that flew close by the lookout heading South. I think any of the lookout personnel who know to see Condor
