California Condor Eben McMillan 22 april 1964 ot her family had seen condor in 1964. She did say that the Turkey Buzzards were back and could be seen most anytime of day now in her area. I went to the office of Agricultural Commissioner of Kern County and from there talked to Mr. Ben Easley on the phone, he being at his Poison Mixing Warehouse at Minier Field that is about fifteen miles north of Bakersfield, just off Highway 99. Mr. Easley manages all pest and rodent control activities performed by Kern County. He told me his crews were just this week getting started on poisoning squirrels with Compound 1080 and that activities were now limited to small problems that were being taken care of. He thought that his regular squirrel poisoning crews would not get lined out until after the last of May. Mr. Easley promised to keep me posted on any sizeable jobs he would be doing and did say that the Woody Ranch had ordered 400 pounds of Strychnine Poisoned grain for use in poisoning Kangaroo Rats. He thought this poison grain would be ready for application next week. The Woody Ranch is near the Town of Woody in North Central Kern County. I must try to check this poison operation when it is done to determine the number of dead rats on the ground following the placing of the poison. Mr. Easley also stated that if the San Emigdio Ranch did any poisoning it would be in the fall when their men were not so busy. The Tejon Ranch, he thought, would not do any poisoning this year. He said they had their squirrels well under control,
