California Condor. Eben McMullan December 10, 1963 Forest Ranger Ed Morse of the Cuyama Office told Ian and me that reports of condor sightings coming in to his office, from his district, have been getting less and less each year. The last sighting he had record of was from one of his men who had turned in a report of seeing birds near McPherson Lookout on the Sierra Madre Range. This was in November, 1963. Ranger Ed Morse stated that individually, district Forest Service Rangers give consideration to species of animals, on Forest Service lands, other than Game Species, but that it is not a part of the Forest Service policy. Birds other than Game Birds, are only considered when local conditions give rise to public interest in them; such as a group of bird watchers coming into the area on a field trip. Three shepherds, who tended flocks of sheep to the East of Cuyama stated that they had not seen Condor this fall. One young herder who had been South of Cuyama last Summer when Ian and I watched a young Condor come to eat on a dead sheep, as well as having seen several at one time a few days before this incident, told us that he had seen no more Condor since that date.
