california Condor Eben McMILLAN 4 February 1964 Today I talked with Nick Lewis who has ranch properties on west side of Carissa Plains at headquarters of the San Juan River and in Cholame Valley to the East of the Cholame Rancho headquarters about five miles. Both of these areas are Potential Condor feeding grounds. To my question as to whether he had seen Condor of late Nick Lewis answered that the only Condor he had seen in recent years were several (more than one) that were feeding on a dead calf about one-half mile Northwest of the La Panza Ranch and just north of the Camarata Road. Mr. Lewis saw Condor here on two consecutive days, about Two Years ago. This is important evidence in that several different People saw Condor here about Two Years ago. I am quite sure this incident occurred about one year ago when Mr. Zimmermann of the La Panza Ranch hauled, two [illegible] that had died, to this place and left the carcasses. Mr. Zimmermann saw Condor here on this occasion as did Paul Freeborn and others. It merely Points up the fact that when Condor are around, people recognize them. This is not necessarily the case if Condor are flying by a given area, for even though Condor flew over the highway, that passes the La Panza Ranch, quite commonly last spring when sheep were in the Narajo Canyon and San Juan River areas, very few people, other than Ian and I ever saw them.
