California Condor
California Condor
29 august 1963
Burt Hutchison who had seen what he thought was
a condor over Bald Mountain some 20 miles to the North-
of Kennerville. Owing to the scepticism on the part of
Mr. Hutchison as to the positive identity of this Condor
it probably should not be used as a valid observation.
Ranger Hutchison was formally out of the San Luis
Obispo Office and spent three years at the Pozo Ray
Station in San Luis Obispo County, so he probably
has seen Condor. But I doubt his interest in these
birds would last beyond the time I left his office.
Burt Hutchison has had no records of Condor sig-
come into his Office. He thinks any information regard
Condor Observations would be funneled into the Headquart-
Office of Sequoia National Forest in Porterville, California.
I arrived at the Tobias Peak Lookout at 2:00 p.m.
A Mrs. Lydia Rogers attends this Station and claim
to have seen Condor in past years. She thought that a
bird that passed her Lookout on August 20-1963 could
been a Condor. She did not know of the white under
the wings of adult Condors and had always identified
them by the palm effect of the Outer Wing Prim.
Mrs. Rogers has been employed during the fire season-
Tobias Peak for five years. She sent in Condor re-
in former Years but has not made DVT reports on Con-
sighted for the last Two Years.
According to Mrs. Rogers, the Stockmen who have
grazing leases on the National Forest Lands in the Tobias
Peak-Sunday Peak area are now busy getting their
cattle off the Ranges for fear that some animals
will remain on the mountains when Deer hunting season
Commences. Should they not get the Livestock down to lower Private Pastures before
Deer Hunting Season Commences then the Chan
Condor ?
