California Condor Eben Dschmillan 2 February 1964 This Condor was moving at an elevation about equal to the top one-third line on Hopper Mountain. At 3:30 p.m., an adult Condor was observed passing northward, below our level and out to our eastward about one-half mile. As this bird passed Hopper Mountain it swung more northwest and joined another adult Condor at the east of Leofords Lookout about 400 yards. Those two Condors then sailed into the strong east wind and soon passed from sight behind ridge and into the Pitu River drainage. We spent some time at the forks of Percy Hopper Mt., and Able Canyon, roads acquainting Mr. Buchheister with landmarks about the area and showing him developments that could influence Condor. Mr. Percy Jane Carl Buchheister a general history of the area, he, Mr. Percy that is, having been in this area in the ranching business more than fifty years. The east wind, blowing so strong, we returned to Bear Tree Carrels where we had left our pickup, thanked Mr. Percy for his generous help in transporting us up the mountain in his Jeep, then drove to Sulphur Creek and went into camp. A roaring fire was kindled, much activity went on in the process of gathering firewood—setting up a cot and bed for Carl Buchheister, cooking our supper and other industries in preparation for a cool, windy, night. While this was all going on four Condors came from the south and circled above the sheep carcass we had put out this morning before leaving for Gastart Junction. This was in addition to the one we had put out yesterday afternoon and was placed below where the road passes from Soda Creek to Sulphur Creek and was on the Soda-Sulphur ridge about on a level with our camp. Several more Jackrabbits had been thrown out along this ridge also.
