California Condor Eben Mcmillan 14 January 1964 although he had been working at this location for a year he had seen no condor. He said he knew condor from having seen them in the Bakersfield area of Kern County and that on one occasion he had seen several in the Kings River Canyon. The temperature at Castaic Junction was mild and very little wind was blowing. As we drove down the Santa Clara valley towards Fillmore, we came up with a strong east wind at Piru. From here on into Fillmore the wind actually pushed us along. The elder Mr. Percy gave us the key to Hopper Canyon and we gassed up at the Standard Oil Company Service Station in the Corner where the Highway 126 and the Grimes Canyon grade road intersect. Jan called the Ojai Ranger Station and applied for a renewal of the permit to enter the Condor refuge or Sespe Wildlife Area. He said that a Mr. Bennett, who had talked to him on the phone, had assured him that a new permit would be forthcoming and that it would be permissible for us to enter the Sespe Wildlife Area for the time being until the permit came through. We drove on up to Percy [illegible] Cabin at the mouth of Hopper Canyon where Eugene and Ruth Percy stay at night during weekdays when Mrs. Percy is teaching school in Fillmore. Eugene Percy was at this cabin having just returned from Fillmore where he had gone to have a fire repaired in his trap. Mr. Percy told us of seeing only one or two Condor flying about his ranch since we were here on January five when we had observed Eight Condor over the Percy home on Hopper Mountain. We followed Eugene Percy to his Ranch where we chatted with him regarding condition of his livestock and range. He is quite worried -
