Eben J. McMillan 28 January 1964 A postal card was received in the mail today from Evelyn Farnsworth, at Glennville, Kern County, California that was mailed January 24, 1964 and read as follows: "Jan. 22, at 12:40 P.M., we saw three condors circling over the top of 'Bear Hollow Hill', on the Woody-Glennville road about 2½-3 miles towards Woody from the intersection of that road and the Granite Station road. The day was very dark so could only see that two were adults. The third one could have been a young one. Too was too far away to tell for sure. The day was very stormy although not as cold as the weather we had been having. We had just driven through a very heavy snow flurry a few minutes before we saw the birds. They apparently were headed due south for one was sailing in that direction when we looked back from further down the road. Did you get any useful information from Floyd Smith? Sincerely - signature - This is evidence that condor do move about in the Glennville and Granite Station areas during winter months and even in periods of inclement weather. There rises a threat to condor from high power lines when they are forced to fly in these storms with visibility limited to a few rods or even perhaps a few feet at times. After seeing condor manipulate in the strong gusty winds over Popper Mountain last week I now feel they are capable of flying in any weather so long as they can see. But with snow storms and thick fog to impede their progress, especially the high-power lines strong high across the canyons, this could be a factor in condor mortality. The above post card was filed of course.
