California Condor Eben Mcmillan 27 may 1964 operating has mostly been done from Jeep or Pickup, and very little squirrel poisoning having been done from horseback. I find one feature common among all who are actively engaged in any squirrel poisoning program, that being that without exceptions, they all seek to overemphasize the importance of poisoning squirrels and to overestimate the size of squirrel populations to a very great extent. In describing the numbers of squirrels in a given area one seldom hears these people speak in terms of hundreds, or even thousands; rather it is usually in millions. Likewise the dangers that might come to people from these squirrel populations are grossly over-exaggerated. One hears from them, much reference, to plague area, Bubonic area, and diseased areas. This is a condition common among people who guard the public health against such things as Pests of all types and Rabies. They are always selling the fact that their service is vital to the well being of the public, and without which, Disease and Pestilence would soon run rampant. This is undoubtedly due, in no small measure, to the ambition of these people to keep their Jobs. At Granite Station Edna Williams reported that Frank Stockton saw three Condor over his ranch about three miles north of Granite Station on 15 April 1964. Going back to George Moore with whom I visited today, while eating our lunch, thinks three grains of 1080 treated grain will kill an adult squirrel. He also thinks that the Margaret Brown Condor must have swallowed whole either-
