alifornia condor
Eben Mcmillan
27 August 1963
I drove to luke field of spring ranch 8 miles Northwest of
cholame, sierra county Calif. to check on the offal of a deer
that Gregory mcmillan shot last evening. NO Buzzards
came to this carrion by 1:00 p.m. I Loaded the offal in
my pickup and took it home dumping it on the hilltop west of the
chicken house above my house. Four Buzzards came to this
offal at 3:15 p.m. and fed.
The wind was easterly - The Temperature warm -
It appears that Turkey Buzzards are not leaving
their roosting places as early as was the case in
early summer. I saw no Buzzards flying in the
cholame flats Today.
