Page 9 -Continued- California Condor Eben McMillian 7 February 1963 Condor the southeast. Both condor circled briefly, and then disappeared over the ridge to the north. about 10 minutes later three condor appeared above the top of Hopper Mt. Two of which, after some circling came directly over me, circled a bit, the dropped down and circled over the area where the dead calf had been left. After circling there for a minute or two they returned to the top of Hopper Mt. where the remaining bird had been joined by two other condor, one of which was unmistakable as a juvenile bird, being dark of head with no bright white feathers under the wings. One bird of the five that were above the Mt. top, now flew away to the west in the general area of Fillmore or a bit more westward. Soon another Condor flew in from the northward but continued on westward in the general direction taken by the other bird that flew that direction- soon a condor returned from the west as did another from the north, making 6 condor in sight at the same time one of which was a juvenile. There seemed ample evidence to state that at least 7 separate condor were in the area of Hopper Mt. this morning - one of whom was a young bird; I am thought he saw 8 separate condor here one of which had a feather missing from the right wing about 1/3 from the tips inward. These condor left towards the north. We drove to Fillmore, then to Simi where we talked with Bruce Strathern about recording condor observations, to which he agreed todo. We then drove to Lebec and talked about access to Tejon Ranch with Mr. John Grixby resident engineer at Tejon Ranch Co. Headquarters. a dense smog hung over South San Joaquin Valley. we arrived home about 8:00 P.M. at Cholame.
