california condor: eben mcmillan 27 april 1964 I drove 3 miles east of my home where a flock of sheep have been grazing on volunteer wheat on land owned by Ernest Still, in choice valley. The shepherd caring for these sheep informed me he had seen a condor several days before that had alighted near the carcass of a cow that had been dead a long time. This shepherd could speak no english and was dissatisfied with conditions here in the united states and stated that he did not care to return again. He particularly did not like the privation experienced by spanish shepherds here and he said he did not like herding sheep as he had been a farmer in spain and had done little sheep herding before. The above shepherd told me that he had experienced no problems among his sheep due to coyotes. He also told me that in spain there is a wild dog that is smaller than the coyote, and a wild cat that catches domestic fowl at times. This shepherd, who tends a flock belonging to Joe Estros, was very dissatisfied with his lot in this country. He has spent most of his time here isolated from other people. This he does not like. He thought he had been misrepresented to him when he came to this country. He also told me that coyotes have never been a problem among any sheep he had herded in this country.
