california Condor Eben Mcmillan 23 September 1963
32 Condor last year. I will look this Gib mckenscy up at the
next opportunity.
Jantzen informed me that the helpers he is responsible
for and which are now all in the White Wolf, Alvin part of the
Tejon Ranch property, are commencing to abort Premature
Calves. He has seen several in the last few days that lost their
calves.
The Rain of last week that drove me home from the Edison
area has sprouted grass in the higher foothills, especially
in the White Wolf area where some germination of grass seeds
had probably been triggered from the cloud-burst that hit
this and the Tehachapi area in August 8th period. The field
of Barley that was harvested by Boy Williams, in White Wolf Pass,
and was eaten to the ground, after harvest, by the Tejon Ranch
helpers, is now, grass green, and covered with volunteer barley
that is more than three inches high.
No large birds observed in White Wolf, Bakersfield-
Wasco, Lost Hills, or Bitterwater Valley. One Golden Eagle was
noted hunting east of the Adam Grant home in Choice
Valley, inside San Luis Obispo County.
Today I cut from the Newspaper The Fresno Bee at
Sunday, 22 September 1963, an article headed, Tipton Rancher
is cleared of cattle neglects, in which a Tipton, Tulare County,
Rancher had been taken to court by the Tulare County Humane
Society for willfully starving cattle on overgrazed land. This
item is entered as specimen No. 10- Eben Mcmillan.
