P.295 Continued- California Condor Eben McMillan 9 September 1963 Sex ? home about 200 yards and flushed the two Condor in the dead Oak near the Carcasses. As these two Condor passed by us within 150 feet we could make out that they were adults. One of Condor flew around hill northward while the other flew around low ridge to the south. Both flew easily and appeared to have no problem gaining sufficient elevation to clear both ridges To the north and to the south. Several Buzzards were feeding at the Carcasses and only flew into nearby trees as we approached. Much sign of scavenging activity was in evidence about the Carcasses. Most of feeding seemed to have been done through the cuts on the second Carcass and through the vaginal orifice on the more recent cow. Much putrification was in evidence with both recent Carcasses and maggots formed a layer that covered the ground several inches deep around the very edge of the Carcasses. At 8:30 A.M., after climbing upon a rock that protrudes above the trees on the north side of the south hillside above the road that continues on up the canyon east of the Farnsworth Ranch buildings, I saw an adult Condor in digger pine to my northeastward and across the canyon and on the north side of the above mentioned road. I quite certain this was the Condor that flew around the northward after we flushed the two Condors from the dead Oak near the Cow Carcasses a short time before. A few minutes later, from a point near where we had left the pick I saw another Condor to the south, near the top of ridge and only about 150 feet west of the large water tank that has only recently been constructed by the Farnsworths about 2/4 of a mile south of their homestead. This Condor was also perched in a small digger pine tree. I also feel sure this Condor was the one, of the two that I saw and flushed near the Carcasses sometime
