p. 290 —Continued— 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 ? Not entered { Condor ? } ( Not Used ) No Condor reports for 2%. hunters—
