california Condor Eben McMillan 20 may 1964 Carl Buchheister and Ian came at 9:30 - we drove to Palo Pinta Canyon where we saw Golden Eagle on nest. It was probably one of the young, if there are two, that are now well flagged. We drove on to Cholame flats. The sick and dead cattle that were on the feeding grounds had been taken away, probably by the Tallow works. We remained in the area until 11:30 A.M. in the hopes that Condor would come in but we saw none. Many things were discussed during the morning. Especially the matter of the Sierra Madre Road and its Effects on Condor welfare; also the general problems confronting the National Audubon Society in regards to its policy towards private individuals who wish to emphasize the need for public concern over bureaucratic integrity especially as this would pertain to governmental bureaus and their personnel - also the matter of Audubon chapters or affiliates going beyond their bounds in developing programs that would supersede those of the National Organization. All these discussions were, of course, held to matters that would pertain to Condor welfare. At 12:15 P.M. we stopped at the Cold-Water Golden Eagles nest in the Pines - Two well flagged young were on the Nest. We put Carl Buchheister on the S.P. Daylight at 2:00 P.M. in San Luis Obispo and returned to our homes.
