California Condor
Eben McMillan
11 December 1962
It was Gary Snow calling from Bakersfield about some business. She
mentioned my being there and then let me talk to Mr. Snow when he
wanted to know if I had found out any information on the bird
remains. I had picked up on the Armstrong ranch. In the course
of the telephone conversation, after I assured him I had no
information yet on the cause of death of the Armstrong Condor-
Gary Snow said that he doubted that Condor came into
the Granite Station area in the winter time. He could not
remember ever having seen Condor in mid-winter.
I left the Granite Station area at 4:30 p.m. and
drove to Bakersfield where I called both Pillard
Pittman, who attends the West-Breckenridge Ranch
area for Jose Hendebury and Andy Charlton who
watches after the Rankin Property lease of Kenneth
McBaine. Neither of whom had seen Condor.
I drove on to Cantil about 20 miles North of
Mojave on Highway 6 and camped for the night
near the High Power line that runs along the foothills
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Cantil area.
