Past fall circling above Sheep he was attending on alfalfa, In the Antelope Valley near 110th Avenue on Highway 138 running from Gorman to Lancaster. He said he had never seen Condor come down to eat on dead Sheep Near his camp Lane on 116th Avenue, but that many Sheep had died throughout the fall months while he was Camped at this location and that Condor could have come down and fed on them without his seeing them do so. The Old Shepherd told me that the grass was not growing any during the last few cold days and that another week of this sort of weather would force a movement of the Sheep here in Cottonwood Canyon. He thought they would be moved to Tejon Canyon on the west side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains if a movement was necessary. I arrived in Tehachapi at 3:30 p.m. where I looked up the Game Warden Mr. Tharp and found he had only been released from a Bakersfield Hospital five days ago where he had underwent an operation for kidney stones that had kept him off the job for 6 weeks. Mr. Tharp told me of seeing Two Condor at the head of Sand Canyon that is about six miles north of Monolith, Kern Co., California. This was on 2 November 1963. Mr. Tharp also told me that all the west side of Antelope Valley to the foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains from the highway 138 to the Los Angeles aqueduct on 90th Street West, or the Willow Springs Road, thence southwest along the aqueduct for 18 miles is all a closure area to the discharging of firearms. It is in this shooting closure zone that the automobile and the mail boxes I photographed today are located.
