California Condor Eben McMillan 26 February 1969 At 10:24 A.M. the Eagle that had been hovering above lowered down and passing by above one of the lower Jackrabbit Carcasses grabbed it briefly, then let it go, causing the rabbit Carcass to be thrown about ten feet downhill. After this the Eagle drifted downhill, eastward, and alighted in a dead Spruce tree that stands with several others of its kind on Soda-Sulphur Ridge after it commences to plunge down into Hopper Canyon in the timbered area. At 10:26 the two Condors that came earlier are still stacked up, hovering above the bait, but not coming in to light on the ground as yet. Y. Eagle At 10:28 an adult Golden Eagle comes in and circles with the Condors. Neither paying the other much attention. Raven of which there were now Twelve, would fly up and chase the Condor and the Eagle. On one occasion the Eagle dashed after one Raven but after one Stoop and a miss that was the result of a deflection by the Raven, the Eagle came back and circled. Following this chase the Raven seemed to enjoy it and immediately returned to pester the Eagle again but to no avail. Jet planes in Hopper Canyon At 10:29 A.M. two single engine jet [illegible] roared up Hopper Canyon well below my level. In fact they passed up the canyon following a line of flight that fixed them, from where I sat, near Sulphur Canyon Camp, at about one-half way up the opposite, or east side of Hopper Canyon, and opposite Sulphur Creek drainage. Had any Condor been flying in the bottom of Hopper
