P.282 Continued Tehachapi California Condor Eben McMillan 22 August 1963 flight site the Tehachapi valley, in the locality of monolith, they hereby reversed their progress to a westerly course again, climbed to a good elevation and then followed the westward course up the valley, west over the town of Tehachapi, and out towards Bear Mountain. These and the other turkey buzzards that traveled this route while I watched, seemed to increase their speed considerably after they passed over the town of Tehachapi. Air currents from both Cummings Valley and Tehachapi creeks come together west of the Townsite about one half mile. This may lead to more favorable flying conditions after the buzzards referred to reach this point in the westward progress through the Tehachapi valley. Domestic Dogs, roaming the Tehachapi valley are a problem to shepherds. A fence corral of woven wire must be constructed at each camp, in order to protect the sheep from these roving dogs during the nighttime. Coyotes do not bother sheep in the Tehachapi Valley. Game warden Tharp, of Tehachapi, told me of seeing a large bird in the marcelene Flat area that lies between the Bear Mountain Road and Comanche Point Road, going west from Cummings about two weeks ago, that he thought was a Condor. Driving to White Wolf Pass I met Jack Jensen, the Cowboy for Tajon Ranch who lives east of Arvin in a Tajon ranch house and tends the Cattle in the White Wolf area. Mr. Jensen thought the helpers he has in his Care would Commence Calving about mid October. Should this foothill abortion show in those helpers this season they should commence slick within the next two or three weeks. Mr. Jensen will keep me posted. Dogot Sheep? Condor ? unidentified
