Telephone - Farnsworth P.316 California Condor Eben McMullan 12 September 1963 3329 Mrs. Evelyn Farnsworth called last night and said Condor had returned to her ranch late on the evening of 10 September and that they were still about yesterday. The following is a duplicate of Notes she gave me today- 7:35 P.M., 9/10/63 four Condor roosting in dead pine east of Bent Pine. 9/11/63 - 9:05 A.M. One adult (Condor) sunning wings on death Oak snag near carcass (Cow carcass in canyon one quarter mile East of Farnsworth house). Three adults feeding. Flew out- two lit in Oak and Pine West of carcass. One in low Oak East of carcass. 9/11/63 - 1:40 P.M. One adult soaring over house. 9/11/63 - 2:50 P.M. Four adult Condor feeding on still- born Calf West of house (one quarter mile). One adult soaring. Quite a bit of fighting when the four were feeding. Jump at each other and flap wings. Ate eyes, one ear, and intestines, entering through navel. 9/11/63 - 3:55 P.M. Seven adults flew up from [illegible] Near Calf Carcass. Two were perched in dead tree 50 feet from calf. A few minutes later counted Nine soaring, Think one young. Couldn't be positive. Positively identified McMillan's gap winged bird flew low directly overhead. (This is the bird, I think, with the two gaps in the right wing close to the body and a large gap in the secondaries of the left wing just inside the Primary feathers). Seven left NE, high and straight. 9/11/63 - 4:05 P.M. One adult soaring over Rock Corral. Didn't see where it went from there. (End of Mrs. Farnsworth Notes) Evelyn Farnsworth knows Condor. Her observations can be adjudged correct. It is of interest to note that another family of people live one quarter mile West of where Mrs. Farnsworth saw the seven adult Condor at the Calf carcass yesterday afternoon. She thinks these —
