California Condor. March 21-1963 Continued. Eden McMillan
on Blue Ridge Perched in a tall dead Jeffrey Pine Tree.
He said they would remain in the tree until he would
Occasion
Come quite close and on one occasion he moved up
and hammered on the trunk of the tree they were in
before they flew away. This was quite early of a morning.
We thought they came to Blue Ridge to roost in the summer
Time mostly and that he doubts they nest in that area.
Mr. Hickers promised to phone us when he sees Condor
again. He also offered us free access to his property
in Grouse Valley anytime we care to enter that area.
We then visited with a Mrs. Muriel Kenwood who lives on
the south fork of the Kaweah in the Grouse Valley area,
and who was today working in the Singing Waters Cafe
in Three Rivers. Mrs. Kenwood is of pioneer stock and
was born in the Three Rivers area. She knows Condor
occasions
and spoke of seeing them on numerous occasions, all in
the Blue Ridge area, excepting on one occasion, when she
saw a Condor in the back Country on a back trip.
Mrs. Kenwood professed more concern for wildlife
than do most people and she was much concerned about
Condors when the deer season is in force and the
great numbers of city gunners, who seem to have
no thought of responsibility, are about in the Condor
area.
Mrs. Kenwood also will phone us if she sees Condor.
She also offered her help to us in any way she
can.
We and a camped overnight with relatives of
his wife May, who live near the Three Rivers
Golf Links.
