california condor Eben McMillan 1 October 1963 personnel at the Lebec headquarters of Tejon Ranch Company and I feel much can be done to increase this interest to the point of being very beneficial to condor welfare. Marjory Beckett, who is secretary to Mr. Thumber, was most happy that condor has been sighted in the Lebec area and expressed a hope she gets to see one soon. John Grigsby introduced me to the lady who acts as secretary to the Tejon Ranch Company and whose name I failed to get but will leave a blank space here & and enter her name when I get it the next time I pass that way. This lady feeds a hummingbird feeder that hangs outside the large room where the board of directors of The Tejon Ranch Company meet and this feeder is at one end of a large window facing off this room towards the west. She is very interested in the hummingbirds and has watched them nesting and bringing up their young in a shrub nearby. One member of the board, at meetings, would joke with her about the birds as though she was displaying protective feminine behaviour in caring for these hummingbirds, but on a day when two fighting male hummers hit the big window and fell to the ground, as a board meeting was in session, this man was the first to dash out and pick up the one bird that did not rise from the ground. This is entered as evidence that most people can develop a benevolent attitude
