Pinos - S.W. side; Lamberton 9/25/63: 12:30 p.m. 3 Condor in Cuddy Valley - Dr. Plisco - It is worthy of note that the two Condor seen by Mr. Bruce Lamberton on 9/22/63 on the S.W. side of Mt. Pinos at about 3:00 p.m. were down low enough that Mr. Lamberton could see good detail of birds, had head, Beak, etc., as they flew directly over his head. Gary Plisco Noted that of the three Condor he saw in Cuddy Valley on 9/25/63 at 12:30 p.m., one was small, Two were large. I have found it difficult to distinguish between the size of Condor when flying even though immature were with adults in flight.
