California Condor Eben Mcmillan 26 November 1963 about ¼ mile south of where Hopper Creek Proper and the Creek coming from The Big Cave Converge. The bird was about 300 yards high when I first saw it. It soon sailed upward and drifted out towards the west, and Hopper Mountain, and passed from view dropping behind Hopper Mountain. at 8:45 A.m. I saw four Condor coming my way passing along the crest on the East slope of Hopper Mountain. As these four Condor came on past Hopper Mountain about ¼ mile one was seen to turn east and pass out above the Hopper Canyon. The other three Condor continuing on towards me. These three Condor passed out to the east of me about 400 yards and at this point circled several times. All three were identified as adults. As they continued on their way Two of the three Condor that circled out in front of me flew on Northeast while the other bird dropped down into Hopper Canyon and passing over the outcropping ¼ mile south of The Big Cave, circled upward, passed on out Southeast and was last seen circling east of the divide between Hopper Canyon and Piru Canyon at a point about due east of ½ mile south of the Big Cave. I now walked southwest along Hopper Rim to a point where the road cuts around the east face of a point about ½ mile north of Koford's Lookout Point and here met Jan who said he had seen only three of the Condor. He said that the road was passable all the way down and that even a late model touring car would have no problem in negotiating it to its end at the pass where Spring Canyon Trail hits the Top of Hopper Rim. Jan said that no other places were as wide as the two spots, one at the very east near Pemberton Rock and another area about 50 yards back towards the south from the end that had been widened out where it would accommodate 8 or 10 automobiles at one time.
