Page 41 Arizona Condor Continued 19 March-1963 Eben Mcmillan + Airplane Canyon and joined another flock of Turkey vultures there and wheeling about gained altitude, an airplane, (biplane) came from the Southeast and circled above where the highway crosses the Navajo valley and returned from whence it came. The Condor circling above the area where the airplane turned about below, seemed to pay no attention to the airplane whatsoever. The airplane was at an altitude of about 400 feet from the ground as it flew about. The Condor was probably up about 800 Feet. At 3:15 p.m. the Condor returned to the East side of the Navajo valley, dropping down as it crossed, and then disappeared into the same brushy canyon from where it had first seemed to come. After five minutes the Condor, with several turkey vultures, came out of the Canyon again, crossed the Valley and circling about gained altitude in about the same location it had been circling when the airplane came and went. After gaining considerable altitude and drifting South West by West, with the strong East wind, the Condor then set its wings and soared for 6 minutes on a straight course West by Southwest until it joined with several smaller hawklike birds that were circling. The Condor circled here for a few moments then seemed to drift Northwestward for about 30 seconds when it joined another flock of circling hawk- like birds. It circled here briefly, gaining much height. It was now that I moved my body a bit, lost the bird in the scope and could not relocate it. I then drove above the brushy canyon from where the Condor had first appeared. I here found Two live sheep that appeared to have died of the Cold. They had been well eaten by scavengers. It was 3:30 p.m. when a last sight of the Condor: one feather was missing from the right wing of this Condor about the Center, [illegible] lost wing food
