California Condor Eben Mcmillan 26 February 1964 Claude Brown wrote in a letter to me, regarding the exploits of one Arthur Wilcox collecting Condor in the early days. Mr. Brown mentioned of having found a Camp among the Pines in the McChesney mountain area from which Mr. Wilcox shot Condor from their roost. By always shooting the last Condor to leave the roost in the morning Wilcox found the remaining birds would return to the same roost again in the evening. Of particular interest is the report of Condor sighting that I received from Mrs. Evelyn Farnsworth of Glenville, who reports seeing four Condor circling between the fork of Poso Flat and Granite Station road and where the Williams road leaves the Granite Station road. This sighting occurred at 9:30 A.M. on February 26, 1964 and was likewise observed by members of the County Road Crew. The road crew said, to Mrs. Farnsworth that they had observed five Condor near Bancheria about the first of February. (Letter dated Feb. 26, 1964.)
