California Condor Eben McMillan 11 MAY 1964 It was clear, calm, and mild as I drove down the Palo Prieta Canyon at 7:45 A.M. The blue Oaks in the Canyon are leafing out but the trees on the hillsides seem to be very slow in sending out leaves. Undoubtedly the drought must have some influence on this condition and one wonders if these trees on the hillsides are suffering or are they withholding activities in the interest of their own preservation. The lower Palo Prieta Canyon Eagle was perched in the top of an Oak that stands about 200 feet west of the large tree on the ridge where the Nest is situated. At 8:45 A.M. One Turkey Vulture was feeding at the Cow Carcass near the dry spring on Maple Flat on © Branch and four more Vultures were feeding at the Calf Carcass that lies 200 yards to the east of the Cow Carcass. At 9:30 A.M. A Coyote was seen galloping up a slope just out of the flat on west side of Cholame flats about two miles SE of the foot of Kerr grade. At 9:35 an adult Golden Eagle was seen first circling low over rocks on west side of Canyon to the Southeast of foot of Kerr grade, and at 9:40 this Golden Eagle was on the ground near the Carcass of a dead Calf one quarter mile further up this Canyon. Two Turkey Vultures sailed about the area southeast of the foot of Kerr grade. Condor - At 9:55 A.M. One immature Condor was seen on the ground, near the top of a ridge, about one-half mile southeast of Gene Rumbold barn. This bird was sitting still, out in the center of an open patch of grassland,
