P-317 Frazier Mt. Tegon Ranch -Continued- California Condor. Eben Mcmillan 16 September 1963 Speed of Condor flight. The valley below and at 2:10 P.M. had reached and dropped from sight behind the forested ridge North the town of Frazier Park. The distance this Condor traveled in the five minutes it was under my Observation, according, distances on U.S. Forest Service map, was a minimum of four miles air line. While watching this Condor as it traveled Northeast a fast rate, two adult Golden Eagles and an immature eagle passed very high over us traveling very fast a southerly direction. An immature Golden Eagle circled to the south of us, above the west face Frazier Mountain at 2:15 P.M. Stopping at Headquarters of Tejon Ranch Company in Lebec I chatted with Henry Melendy - John Grigsby, Walter Zieguth and a Mr. Marvin Barnes, who stated he captured a Condor many years ago that had gourged itself of a dead Cow fallen into a Canyon in its attempt to get airborne. Mr. Barnes claimed this Condor attempted to attack him when he went into the Canyon to capture it. He claimed to have held this Condor captive for several days before turning it back to the wilds. Both John Grigsby and Walter Zieguth told of an experience that Perry Sprague, a former Superintendent of the Tejon Company, had when he hoped a Condor that was also supposed to have flightless due to over-feeding on a Cow Carcass. Sprague told them that when he roped the Condor it came at him and tried to peck him with its beak. Sprague was supposed to have loaded this Condor in the back seat of an open-topped automobile and hauled it to the Ranch Headquarters. An Indian was supposed to have let this Condor free a few days after its capture. It appeared that a Storm was building up this afternoon.
