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.
