California Condor Blen McMillan 14 may 1964 by scavengers of any sort. The last trip I made here to the Tejon Ranch on 29 and 30 April 1964 I saw three sheep carcasses none of which were more than a week old and on that same trip the Shepherd, Juan Arburva, told me of having two lambs and a ewe killed near his camp none of which, he told me today, had been eaten on by scavengers. This makes a total of ten sheep carcasses I have either seen or had good account of within the last fifteen days, none of which have been eaten on by scavengers of any sort. Now this is rather difficult to deduce. Why there are no scavengers working in this area, on both east and west slopes of Tejon Ranch in the areas of Tejon and Cottonwood Canyon is rather amazing. I saw only one Turkey Vulture on the Tejon Ranch yesterday and today, and no Raven-Eagles or Condor. The young Shepherd, Juan Arburva, in Tejon Canyon said he was quite sure he saw two Condor circling over Tejon Canyon near his camp, that is about one and one-half mile upstream from the Indian school, but he did not see these Condor come to feed on either of the sheep carcasses that were present then and rather fresh. This was two days ago or Tuesday that he saw the Condors. Home from Tejon by 7:30 p.m.
