California Condor. Eben Mcmillan 29 October 1963 release the air current, Not unlike the movements of a Sail in the wind. At no time did I see this condor flap its wings.

I left this point of observation at 11:10 A.M. descended the ridge and came out on the valley floor near the mouth of Salt Creek.

Gib McKensie being with them at a point on the Tejon Flats, about one mile north of the cattle,
