california condor Eben McNillian 10 september 1963 buzzards were known to perch and roost within the last three weeks I concluded that this is not a normal roosting area for very few feathers were found. Considerable down and feathers (small) were in evidence about the cow carcasses where the condors and buzzards were presumed to have fed. At 2:00 p.m. we drove to Glenville. The lady who served us in the restaurant there did not know of condors. She nevertheless knew of deer hunters and regaled us with stories of the legions of hunters who will flood into Glenville the first weekend of the deer season. We drove on north in hopes of finding someone who had seen the condor pass their way today. The personnel at California Hot Springs Ranger Station had no records of condor sightings in their area. They did tell us that a student from U.S.L.I.A. who was doing a course in photography and was doing his thesis on photography of the California condor had been to see them this summer inquiring where he could find condor to photograph. They referred him to a location on the Tule Indian Reservation where one of the forest employees had observed a condor last year. We stopped and talked to a rancher feeding cattle in the foothills below California Hot Springs. He had not seen condor recently (this year). In 1961 the ranch for which he works lost 43 calves from 100 cows due to Foothill Abortion. The calves were carried by the cow for the full gestation period but would loose them at birth. In the valley northeast of Springville more than one hundred buzzards were circling about six o'clock in the evening. We camped for the night on Blue Ridge near the State of California Department of Forestry lookout that is manned by a Mr. Pollard and his wife. They see condor now and then from this lookout,
