California Condor Eben McMillan 29 @ October 1963 valley. Mrs. Abercrombe was with him at the time and he mentioned to her that we would be interested in hearing hearing of this observation. Robert Montez, an Indian cowboy of Tejon Ranch told me he knew condor when he saw them, but that he had not seen any for two or three years. I talked with Gib McKenzie and George Noblia who were building a pipe ladder at the shop at Tejon Headquarters. Gib told me that the 24 Condor that the Cowboys and he saw on October 26, 1963 had been feeding on a dead calf when the Cowboys rode up and disturbed them. At least six different Cowboys counted the Condor and all agreed that 24 was the correct number. While the counting was going on, the Condors circled in a group above the spot from whence they had just been feeding. After circling up to a great height they were lost track of and could not be followed as they left the area. Gib McKenzie thinks these Condor will remain in the general area for a while now and be seen from time to time in this large group. He thinks they will roost in the tall pines, on the mountain top east of Tejon Ranch buildings. George Noblia told me he saw one Condor yesterday. I did not get the particulars of this observation from him today due to his being rather busy with his work. I arrived home at 5:00 p.m. Ian and I drove to Porterville and on to the Tule River Indian Reservation in the evening. We camped for the night near the Lumber Mill of Shasta Lumber Company,
