California Condor Eben McMillan 10 May 1964 magpie that had fed on the offall, while the Condor were also feeding, seemed to draw little concern from the Condor. I suppose the size of the [illegible] magpie would be the reason why the Condor did not attempt to run them away. After standing in the shade of the Oak tree for a few moments the adult Condor first jumped out into the air and sailed out northeastward to be followed in turn by the young Condor. Both coasted and pumped out to a point above the center of the valley, where they soon climbed high on thermals that came up from the alkali flats, and in a few moments both were circling high and drifting back westward. Both Condor loafed above the area for about ten minutes. At 12:23 p.m., both were still circling high. At 12:30 p.m., these two Condor were last seen moving southeastward along foothills on west side of Cholame valley and about three miles SE of the foot of Kerr grade. No more Condor were seen in the Cholame flats area prior to the time I left the area at 2:45 p.m.
