california Condor Eben Mcmillan 26 april 1964 among the top branches of another Oak about 100 yards further up the hillside. At 1:20 p.m. an adult Golden Eagle came from the South, high, on fixed wings, and continued sailing on Northward until out of sight to the unaided eye. At 12:30 a Cooper's Hawk sailed northward over where I was sitting on a hillside above the foot of Kerr grade. After passing over my position this hawk circled for several minutes before continuing onward, but following the west side of the Cholame Valley in its North-Westward course. At 12:55 Two adult Red Tailed Hawks came and circled above me rather low before gaining altitude as they spiraled upward and then flew west and alighted in the tops of separate Oak trees. One of these hawks was seen later dropping down the Canyon that runs to the west and parallel to Kerr grade. Four separate Nest sites of Burrowing owl were noted on the Cholame Flats. This is more than I have noted in this area for many Years. Since I was last on Cholame Flats, on 23 February 1964, there have been many Cattle die. I noticed the Carcasses of seven cows that had died during this time and at least that many Calves. Surely there would have been at least equal this amount of Cows and Calves that would have died where I could not see them. This supply alone, would have kept 25 or 30 Condor well fed for 60 days, assuming that other Ranches in the area had lost this amount between them from the food supply for Condor in this area would have been glutted. Driving back up Palo Prieta Canyon on way home at 3:15 p.m. I saw twelve Deer deer all lying under trees close by the roadway.
