Page 16 California Condor Eben McMillan 16 February 1963 on way to Ventura, California, via the Carrissa Plains, I stopped to chat with Ray Arnette Caretaker for the Kern County Land Company, at L. Whim Camp. Arnett had been at the Whim for only two years, he did not remember having observed any Condor in the Lower Carrissa Plains area during this time. He did see several Condor while working at the San Emigdio Ranch of the Land Company, Some years ago. It will be interesting to see if his now becoming watchful for Condor, to help us out, will show birds in his area. Jack Samuels, the Caretaker for Rudnick Trust, at the Tope Camp Near Reyes Station, had seen no Condor since he had come there two years ago. Samuels spoke of one of the Hudson boys, from the Cuyama Valley, telling him of seeing a Condor riding a big calf down a hill. I doubt that Samuels knows Condor. ca. 2:30 p.m. I stopped at Gene Wegas ranch in upper Cuyama Valley but found no one home. ca. 2:45 p.m. I stopped at Scotty's, a joint in the upper Cuyama, where the Caretaker told me of seeing two Condor on the Cuyama river bridge near the Lockwood Valley Turnoff. This was about 4 years ago. The Condor were sitting on the side of the Cement Bridge and had been feeding on a Jackrabbit that lay dead on the bridge. near Ozena knows Condors.
