"This was one of those Condor!" was the mans ending statement. When told we were studying Condor the Cowboy stated that "you had better catch some of those that were left and get them cooped up in cages," as if Cow people had no time to be fooling around with any bird. Arrived at Cuyama Ranger station at 11:40 A.M. The Cuyama valley is as dry, or if possible, drier than the southern carissa plains. Ranger Bill Morse was in his Office.

Ranger Morse gave late Condor sighting records to Jan.
