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.
