California Condor Eben McMillan 4 January 1964 Most people who wanted to see condor usually drive up the Sesne Corridor. He said groups from Colleges go up there to study the condor. I asked him how large a wingspread condor had and was informed that the ones they see now do not seem to be as large as they were in the past, these now being only about 18 feet from tip-to-tip of their wings. This man also informed me that today was the first day that the northeast wind had not blown a gale in the town of Fillmore for some several weeks. We stopped at the home in Fillmore of Eugene Percy's father and picked up the key for the gate leading into Little Hopper Canyon. Arriving at the Hopper Canyon Ranch of Eugene Percy we introduced Mr. Atkinson to him and told of our plans to camp further up the mountain near his corrals for the night if this was with his approval. To this Gene Percy consented. While talking to Mr. Percy in front of his mountain home he was telling us of seeing condor during November and December of 1963--I am taking down his notes, when I spotted one condor flying northeast along the top of the ridge between Pole Canyon and Hopper Canyon. This bird soon passed from our view at about 2:45 p.m., We then drove to the corral about ½ mile above Percy home where we met Stephen Percy, the son of Eugene Percy, who is about 30 years old and teaches school in Fillmore during the week while helping his father on the ranch on weekends. Stephen Percy had also seen the condor. We had seen a few moments before from the ranch home below. We were informed that the carcasses of three cattle were about the area, and one calf, but none had been eaten on by condor. We then drove to end of navigation on ridge north of Percy Home and from there hiked north along east face of Hopper Mountain. Mr. Atkinson remained seated on the mountainside about ½ mile
