California Condor. Page 33 11 March-1963- Continued Eben Millman 11 March, 1963 From the Oaks there. Bill Percy took gun and I to the top of Hopper Mountain and out to the point where Kofoed had his lookout, overlooking the Hole in the Wall at 4:00 p.m., we saw Three Condor sitting in the top of the spruce tree that stands to the south side of the Cirque of the Hole-in-the-Wall. Another Condor was seen Circling above the Hole-in-the-Wall. This bird alighted on a ledge on the North Face of the Hole. At 4:20 p.m., another Condor was seen to drop in from above and alight in a cave on the south side of the Cirque. When we left the point--4 Condors were perched on ledges on north side of Cirque and one in the Cave on the south side of the Cirque. I phoned Sid Peyton who told me Jack Cairns was sick and could not go with us to see the nest I had talked to him about before, and Sid also said he could not get permission to enter the refuge with us, and that Mr. Parkinson, the U.S. Forest Service representative in the Ojai Office, Wanted to talk with us so that he or someone else could take us into the [illegible]. I then called Mr. Parkinson and explained to him that we were only interested in seeing this nest site that Mr. Peyton had described to us and that we could now wait for official recognition from the Forest Service before having them go into the area with us. I told Mr. Parkinson, over the phone, that we would drop in and visit him tomorrow.
