California Condor en mcmillan 11 march-1963 I called the Broome Ranch, near Oxnard, at 8:15 A.M. to find out what is known of Condor in that area. A Mr. Bennett, superintendent of this ranch, told me he had no record of Condor ever having been seen there. His records go back to about 1935. Mr. Bennett did, however, advise me to call the Rancho Sierra Vista which is situated in the Canajo Valley to the south and west of Newbury Park and encompasses that area to the south of this town known as Boney Mountains, and which area would probably harbor Condors were they ever to enter this general area. I also called Sidney Payton, of Fillmore, who spoke of being able to show us the nest site of Condor, that is not in the Refuge, and which Koford did not know of when he made his survey. The last time we were down here, Mr. Payton, after expressed willingness to see this nest site, he said he would call and get permission so that we could set in to see this nest site. I informed him that I would call him tonight at which time we would know more of what time we could meet him on Tuesday. I also called Mr. Jack Willett, of Santa Paula, who on being made aware that we would like his Condor Observations, stated that he would be happy to help us out in whatever way he could. Jack Willett is a part time U.S. Fish and Wildlife trapper, as well as being a Rancher in the Wheeler Canyon area west of Santa Paula, Calif., and also having a Forest Service permit to run cattle in the Hot Springs area, in the Sespe River. Jan came to Ventura where I met him in the store of John Tutt at 10:30 A.M. Jan and I drove to Rancho Sierra Vista, in the lower Canajo Valley where we contacted Mr. Sam Watson, manager of this ranch
