California Condor Eben McMullan 4 October 1963 came in pursuit of the Condor it would only amble away a few feet, in front of its pursuer, and stop retreating as soon as the Cow let up in the chase. Mr. Sheddow saw three such chases of the Cow running a condor away from the Calf Carcass before he left the scene. During the day three Golden Eagles, two of which were immature in plumage, the third bird did not allow for age or plumage identification, were seen seen playfully flying about on the brisk wind currents that were striking the west slope of the east side of the Valley up which highway 166 goes west from Maricopa, Kern County, California and about two miles to the southwest of Maricopa. No other large birds were observed during the day. The wind blew quite strongly throughout this trip. When proceeding down Sespe Valley below Big Pine Cafe, or Sandstone Public Campground, we came upon two men, one on each side of the road, casting material from a bag hung from their shoulder with their hands. We passed these two men without stopping but proceeded on wondering the purpose of their activities. About one-quarter mile on past where these two men were walking in the same direction we were going, we passed an automobile parked at the side of the highway that had a © on its licence plate designating it as a County vehicle. We were now in Ventura County. As we drove on down the Sespe Valley, past this vehicle (County) about two hundred yards we came upon two more men, each with a bag slung from his shoulder, casting handfuls of material along the roadside with each P.363 Maricopa Rodent Poisoning Food
