California Condor Eden McMILLIAN 5 November 1963 this species probably limited to less than two hundred years, the stand soon thins out until none remain. From my observations, unless Valley Oak are replanted, or allowed to germinate and grow without cattle grazing them, or being plowed under in the farmers fields, Valley Oak are to become a rare species of tree in Central California. A Golden Eagle circled up out of Tejon canyon above where Old headquarters stands me after gaining considerable elevation sailed off to the East. I found a young red-tailed hawk that had been shot recently with a shotgun, on a point about one mile above the Eucalyptus Grove, southwest of Old Tejon Headquarters. This hawk was near the road that leads from Old Tejon Headquarters to the Bedart Property on the ridge southeast of that point. The remainder of this day, up until four O'clock, was spent in the flat country out from Passoria Corrals watching. At 1:40 P.M. a Golden Eagle circled up high above the Ostich Farm area and then sailed out to the Northwest. At 5:00 P.M. I stopped in Bakersfield, California at the home of Henry R. McKenzie whose son Gilbert (Gib) works as a buckaroo on the Tejon Rancho, and who was born in the Canyon behind Old Tejon Ranch Headquarters in the year 1778. I have been misspelling the McKenzie name prior to this page. I was mis-informed or misunderstood Gib McKenzie when I first met him thinking that he told me he spelled his name McKensie. This now stands to be Corrected! Henry McKenzie told me that Condor were quite common on the Tejon Ranch, and adjoining areas, when he was a young fellow- He remembers seeing a dead condor that someone had shot many P-420 Tujon Eagle 2.
