Navajo Eben McMILLIAN California Condor 1 March-1963 I drove to The Navajo in a.m., arriving by 11:00 a.m. After having spent an hour and one half at Ann's checking on his observations of the last 5 days. Some Turkey Vultures were feeding on a dead sheep in the Navajo valley. I drove to the top of the Navajo ridge at 11:15 a.m. where I checked with three Shepherds who were at one of the Trailer houses on the ridge. One of these Shepherds told me he saw 5 Pajaro Grande (Condor) at 10:00 a.m. this morning near a dead sheep, in a draw on the East slope of the Navajo ridge. I do not lend much authenticity to this observation as this same Shepherd, while we were talking, thought some Buzzards flying some distance away were Condor. As I drove down a ridge to the San Juan river I saw 5 Turkey Buzzards feeding on a dead sheep among some Out trees at the foothills below Swallow rock. An immature Golden Eagle flew from the Carcass of a dead Lamb that was laying near the river where the Buzzards were at 12:35 p.m. The Lamb had blood on its face as though it had bled at the mouth before death. Two adult Condor showed up circling above where the Buzzards were on the dead sheep. Both of these Condor were in adult plumage and no sign of missing feathers in their wings or tail. Both of these Condor were watched for 40 minutes as they circled above. At times they would circle to the west gaining good altitude only to come back and circle the area where many Buzzards were circling now having [illegible] risen from the death sheep. The wind was blowing a stiff gale from the East. The two Condor would gain altitude quickly
