California Condor Eben McMillan 26 February 1964 Condor Today. Eagle & Condor are not mortal enemies. I doubt that Condor are ever damaged by Eagles. Eagles have probably saved many Condor lives by going to bait first and becoming the victim of traps, or guns, that would have destroyed the Condor had it come in first. Raven and Turkey Vulture are probably a buffer species that protect Condor against guns and traps. Condor are suspicious of humans that act interested in their behaviour. Conversely Condor develop a confidence around humans that disregard them. When leaving Sulphur Creek we stopped on the ridge where the bait had been put out and investigated what remained. One hind leg of the deer was virtually intact. This leg had the skin removed by the force of the automobile that hit it. The skin is all that remained of the other part of the deer. The Condor had dislocated and removed all vertebra up to the base of the skull. One front leg was still intact with all meat missing. The eyes - Tongue and nose had been eaten. Two Jackrabbit carcasses still remained almost intact, I would think these must have been overlooked what with all the other bait around. I would surmise, that had we been collecting Condor, that we could have shot a good number today. Perhaps like
