Page 18 California Condor Eben McMillan 19-February-1963 In my Dodge car Alice and I met Gene Rambo at Chilame Restaurant for breakfast at 5:00 A.M. after which we drove to Dunlap, Calif. a hamlet 30 miles East of Fresno where we met Hugh Trawick a packer of that area who we thought might know something of Condor. He had never seen a Condor but he did take us to a nearby ranch and introduce us to a Mr. Baker, an 86 year old resident of that area who told of seeing Condor there quite frequently in early days, but he thought he had seen no Condor in the last 25 or 30 years. Mr. Baker related of knowing someone who had killed a Condor with a .22 caliber rifle in that area many years ago. We visited T.C. Buckman of Visalia after having lunch in that town then, drove to the Marion Vincent Ranch east of Delano on Ganges Highway. As has been written in Kofords work, Vincent knows Condors, having had a mounted specimen in his home for many years and which is now located in a cafe and bar in the town of Rio Vista, Calif., Mr. Vincent had shot this Condor and after a long delay, supposedly received a permit to keep it in his home provided he displayed it in schools of the area. Mr. Vincent has observed Condors on many occasions in late years and spoke of seeing some of these birds on his place within the last month. Mr. Vincent had never heard of the Nesting record in the Tulare River drainage. He also thinks Condor return to the Sepulche Refuge after each days foraging in his area. He does not think Condor Nest in the Mts. Near his area. Moderate Weather- Smog on valley floor. Little wind.
