California Condor
Eleanor McMillan
23 april 1969
how well meaning people will get things twisted up. Mr.
Alzola said there was no doubt of the bird being a Condor
that hit the fawn as he could see the white in its wings. If
Alzola did see these things then it is more than likely that
the bird attacking the fawn was an immature Golden Eagle.
Bob Roberts told me he had seen Condor quite frequently last
May in the area to the west of West Big Pine Lookout at the
headwaters of the Sesquoc River. He and Alzola also said
they have seen Condor on McDonald Mountain, or peak, that
lies between Alamo and Cobblestone mountains. These last
observations were made last summer and fall.
Don Roberts told me that Jeff Calhoun would not be
back on Frazier Mountain as Lookout attendant this Summer.
He said Mr. Calhoun would be working at some other job
about the Ranger Station. Mr. Roberts also informed me
that cattle would probably not be grazed on Frazier
Mountain this summer as Jack Malouf and associates
who had been running cattle there the last several
summers had not renewed their lease this year. I
must see Cory Ellingsbo, who attends to these Cattle and
see what the reason for their not renewing their lease
again this year. Ellingsbo had two animals shot on
Frazier Mountain last deer season and sent, or mailed,
a statement to California Division of Fish and Game
for the Cost of these animals. I have a copy of this
Statement. It will be interesting to get Ellingsbo's
Side of this story of why no Cattle will be on Frazier Mt.
