California Condor Eben McMillan 6 November 1963
Yribarrin thinks it not only bad for the Private Landowners
this unregulated hunting fracas, but he thinks it develops in
people a general disrespect for law and order among everyone
associated with this movement, that is not good for the Country
in general. He is going to try and stop all hunting on the
Property under his care, next year, and will demand of the
Fish and Game Department that they put officers in the field
to help him ward off this rush of people whom he feels
are the direct result of this department's attitude of encouraging
hunting without due consideration of the problems it develops.
At 12:20 p.m. a lone Buzzard was seen, winging its
way westward into a stiff west wind, over the Town of Tehachapi.
California, water was rushing down the streets of Tehachapi
from a hard rain shower that had hit this area a few minutes before
my arrival. This Buzzard seemed to be headed for Bear Mountain.
Showers continued across the San Joaquin Valley and three
quarters of an inch of rain had fallen at home when I arrived
there at 3:30 p.m.
