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. Bolander told me that to the best of his
knowledge NO 1080 Poison has been released, or put out
on Sequoia National Forest Service lands with the consent
of the U.S. National Forest Service Personnel.
