California Condor Eben McMillan 29 October 1963 Corral's that stand out from the mouth of Pastoria Canyon on Tejon Ranch Property, between twelve and one O'clock on Saturday, October 26, 1963. These Buckaroos said they were all Counting this flock of Condor after Gib McKenzie commenced to Count them. One of the Cowboys I was talking with, said that people must have thought all the Cowboys to be Out of their minds, going to all that trouble to Count a flock of big birds. I drove to the area where the Condor were seen last Saturday, but saw no sign of them today. Stopping at the Tejon oil lease of Standard Oil Company Joe Brown told me of seeing Nine Condor on October 20, 1963 at 12:00 Noon that came down from the eastward and circled for sometime above a herd of heifers that graze in a pasture about one-half mile to the west of his Camp. After circling his Camp for a while these Condor returned eastward towards Tunis Canyon. On the day following, Monday October 14, Mr. Brown saw Two Condor at 9:30 A.M. Come from the eastward and pass over his shack, sail on down and circle the herd of cattle one half mile to the west and then fly back towards the mouth of Tunis Canyon on Tejon Ranch. At the hunter check station near old Tejon Ranch Headquarters I met Jack Abercrombie of Corrman who lives on the Old Liebre Ranch in Antelope Valley and cares for the Cattle of Newhall Land and Cattle Co. Who lease the desert side of Tejon Ranch on the Southwest end. He said he had seen only one Condor since we had talked to him in the early part of summer. Mr. Abercrombie saw this Condor circling about 1000 feet above where Old Ridge Route Turns off Highway 138, near Quail Lake in the Southwest end of Antelope
