California Condor Eben McMillan 10 August 1963 Freeland Farnsworth, at Glenville, Calif. Called about 9:00 p.m. to advise me that Mrs. Farnsworth had seen six condor at 4:30 p.m. today in the area behind their home. Mr. Farnsworth said he and his wife had been absent from the ranch for several days and that the condor could have been there yesterday or the day before also. He stated that their purebred heifers are commencing to calve now and that the condor come in to feed on the afterbirth left by the animal after calving. Mr. Farnsworth thought the condor would remain in their area so long as the heifers continue to calve in numbers. I told Mr. Farnsworth that an effort would be made by one of us to be in the Glenville area sometime the early part of next week.
