California Condor Eben McMillan 26 may 1964 Calif. of the Sequoia National Forest. In the same Office, working with Don Bolander, was George Franklin [illegible], Game Manager of California Fish and Game Department. Neither of these men know anything of Condor, had not seen Condor of late, nor had they registered interest in Condor throughout the year. Mr. Bolander gave me the number of livestock - Cattle, horses and mules, that had pastured on Sequoia Forest Grazing permits in 1963 as [illegible] 11,375 including Private lands permits. Mr. Bolander also gave me reports of Condor sightings by Sequoia Forest Service Lookouts during 1963. They were as follows. 2 Condor Breckenridge Mt. 7 September 1963 - 3:50 p.m. 1 " " " 8 July " 10:10 A.m. 1 " " " 7 " " 1:47 p.m. 1 " " " 7 " " 12:00 Noon 3 " " " 6 " " 11:05 a.m. 1 " " " 5 " " 5:30 p.m. Mr. Bolander mentioned the report that reached his office where two Condor had been found in Kern County, death. Their death having been attributed to compound 1080 poison.
