California Condor Eben McMillan 22 may 1969 been raised in the Bakersfield area, did not know what a Condor looked like even though she had heard tell of their presence in the Granite Station area. Squirrel Poisoning personnel from Kern County had Poisoned the Trent Stockton Property yesterday. Mrs. Stockton gave me permission to go over their property to see if any dead animals were in evidence. Mrs. Stockton told me that there were not near as many Kangaroo Rats on this property as is the case on property they have North of Granite Station. She said that following Poisoning operations on the property North of Granite Station Two or three years ago that she had seen the ground white with dead rats that had died with their under parts exposed to the sun. I asked her if she thought there would have been as many as four dead rats in an area as large as the yard that surrounded her house, that would have been about Seventy feet by fifty feet. She thought there would have been more than four dead Rats in an area this size on the areas of the Ranch North of Granite Station where Kangaroo Rats were the thickest. Some areas of this property did not seem to have many rats she thought. She could not remember seeing Buzzards or Condor feeding on these death, poisoned, Rats. Assuming, therefore, that Mrs. Trent Stockton did see Poisoned Rats on the ground of their property, North of Granite Station, as plentiful in an area as two the size of the yard in which she stood while talking to me, and which yard surrounded her house, this would have accounted for a death rat being on every 1750 square feet of areas that were well Populated with Rats, and would account for 25 dead Rats per acre.
