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.
