California Condor Eben McMillan 25 February 1969 briefly before sailing northward and passing from sight behind North Pass at 2:14 p.m. At 3:08 p.m. Two adult Condor circling high about one mile north of our camp. They were gone from sight at 3:10 p.m. Without my seeing which way they went. Two Raven one and light near rabbit carcasses above road but act suspicious and fly away only to return now and then to light and fly away again. Red Tailed Hawks, all immature, were seen hunting the slopes of Hopper mountain throughout the afternoon. A gentle west or southwest wind that had blown all the time this afternoon that we had been on Hopper mountain, now turned to the east and became quite cold. The sky was clear and the Los Angeles basin was quite free of smog, at least above the 500 foot level, that is about where we could see from the lower slopes of Hopper Mt. The sky was clear except for a few contrails of vapor left by high flying planes. A bit west of Hopper mountain seems to be the main beam that airplanes follow north out of Los Angeles. The planes coming south are usually lowering for an approach to the Los Angeles landing areas while those going north are straining for altitude as they come up out of the Los Angeles basin. G. Eagle At 5:10 p.m. an immature Golden Eagle with about the 6th primary missing from its right wing slid down Soda-Sulphur ridge from the top of Hopper mountain and circled over where the Jack rabbit carcasses were and also over our camp before leaving the area.
