California Condor Eben Mcmillan Page 17 18 February 1963 I phoned the Broome Ranch at 1:15 P.M. in regards to gaining access to this area, in the future, in trying to establish the Southwest extension of Condor range. The Broome Ranch is located South of the town of Camarillo Some distance and is reported to have been the feeding ground of Condors in the past. Mr. Bennett, the superintendent, gave me every reason to [illegible] believe we could expect their full co-operation in the Condor Study. I then phoned the residence of Jack Willett, of Santa Paula whose wife informed me he was not in but she felt sure he would be most anxious to help us in any way. Mrs. Willett informed me of a ranch her husband Jack owned in the hot-spring area of the Sespe to which he takes his cattle each spring. This area, being about 8 or 10 miles up the Sespe from Hopper mountain will be a strategic spot for Condor observation. At this time I also tried to phone a Rudolph Reyes, formally a [illegible] lifetime resident of the Cuyama Valley who will be able to fill us in on early history of Condor, as Rudolph Reyes is past 70 years old and hunted and rode horseback much in the mountains bordering the Cuyama Valley. although the weather has been foul in the San Joaquin Valley the last several days it is stated to have been very nice in the Sespe area.
