California Condor Eben McMillan 27 September 1963 been about the Raymond area a good deal, Mrs. Spinks having been born and raised there. They thought Condor were only in South America. They never heard of Condor in California. It being noon when I passed the elementary school, that is located about one-quarter mile south of Raymond, I went in and talked with the teachers and students who were having their lunch outdoors; it being very warm today. None of the teachers, Nor children had heard of Condor. I had to produce photographs to acquaint them with the fact that such a bird exists. After being told of its size one lady teacher expressed concern, that, were it about, there would be fear that it would carry off children. One of the students, a lad about twelve years old, said his father is a trapper for the State and Government, but that he had never mentioned Condor to the lad. Another lady teacher wondered where information could be obtained that could be used to instruct young students in a general knowledge of wildlife and a responsible attitude towards them. I gave her the address of Audubon Society. The Principal of the Raymond Elementary School, Mr. Clifford Rutherford, promised to send me any information he might hear of that would be relative to Condor in the Raymond area. An adult Golden Eagle was observed, briefly, circling over the foothill country at the lower edge of the Oak belt about ten miles southeast of Raymond. The Range country along the foothills from Raymond to Highway 41 has a tremendous cover of dried grasses just now. Very few cattle, and no sheep, were observed in these fields. The livestock still being held on the mountain ranges I suppose.
