The sun now being low, made the Orange heads of adult Condor that were perched in the now darkening pines, stand out like lanterns right. At 6:05 Three of the perched Condors flew away to the south. Another adult Condor came in and in a pine - a few minutes later. Two Condors flew out from the ridge and circled with many buzzards. A black headed Condor that showed much white under the win Came in circled with those two Condors at 6:08 all three left to the south. I suspect that the young Con- dors that came and circled with the two adults Co- have been the same young bird that was fed by the adults this afternoon and that the low evening Sun tintuated the white in its wings. The White bars could not be seen on Top of the wings as was the case with the two adults.

Five adult Condors were observed perched in Pine trees on ridge South of cow carcass. None were in pines on Top of ridge. Three of these adult Condors flew out over Camp
