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.
