California condor Eben Mcmillan 14 September 1963 Entroute to Ventura, California I drove to White Wolf Pass North of Arvin, California where Mrs. Mcmillan and I had our lunch while watching the sky for condors and waiting to see if Jack Jensen, the Tajon Ranch Cowboy who tends the cattle in the White Wolf area, would come to the corrals where he left his truck. We saw no large birds, nor cowboys, and after an hour spent here we drove to the home Jack [illegible], two miles East of Arvin, where Mrs. [illegible] told us that Jack thought he had seen a condor about a week ago. She promised to set the exact date and time for me. We then drove south of Arvin and drove up the Sheep Trail road about three miles where we spent sometime watching the sky for condors, but we saw nothing larger than a Meadowlark. Three Turkey Buzzards were circling the flat country at the mouth of Grapevine Canyon. Evidently there has been a movement of buzzards out of the South San Joaquin Valley for usually one can see good numbers of these scavengers throughout the Grapevine and Wheeler Ridge area. We drove to Castaic Junction, thence to Ventura, via Fillmore, and saw no buzzards enroute.
