Oak Flat Lookout - 12.2'6 -continued- California Condor Eben Mcmillan 28 August 1963 many People have Seen Condor in past years. No One at home at the Record Ranch. Helen King, of Oak Flat Lookout had seen no Condor since I was there last. Several buzzards circled abo the Oak Flat Lookout at 5:00 p.m. Helen King thought buzzards were becoming scarce. She thinks some hav gone south already. (Condorsitu-) Stopping at the summer camp of Remic [illegible] Albitie I found Remic at home with his four dogs - several hors many pigs, and a small flock of game chickens. Remic had seen no Condor this year. He claims to have seen ca Nearly every year since he was a young fellow (he is now about 50 years old) in the foothill country below Granite Station and Woody. He could not remember ever having seen a Condor on Gravhorn Mountain. He claims to have seen five or six Golden Eagles th had been electrocuted on the high power lines th run through the foothills in the Granite Station-Woody area. Golden Eagle remained spread across Electric Electric until it dried and fell apart. Mr. [illegible] Albitrie this Condors probably get electric electrocuted on Power lines. He never saw a Condor dead near an electri Power line. Remic Albitrie shoots hawks that bot his chickens, and Quail, that frequent his land. The li Bullet Hawk is the worst, he says. He also claimed that Squirrel Hawks (Red-Tailed) were bad on chickens once th get started. Mr. Albitrie also said that Eagles Cate some young lambs as well as deer. He indicated his antagonism towards Predators and probably Shoots them whenever he has the chance; but probably no in the presence of Others for one can tell from Remic' talk that he feels Public Opinion would not support him in this type of thinking. He knows hawks and owls are pro (Electrocuted Eagles -) (Predators)
