California Condor Eden DeMillan 27 may 1964 poisoned Rats or Young, Small, Squirrels, that had died of Poison and were small enough to be swallowed whole by a Condor, in order that Poison grain could have fallen from the decayed carcass of this Condor. As Mrs. Brown was washing it with a hose waterhose as it hung on a Chicken wire fence. George Moore described to me how his father, who had settled in the Ventura County area in the early days had told him of seeing Condor that had gorged themselves on the Carcasses of dead Sheep to the point where they could not get off the ground. Mr. Moore also spoke of seeing a flock of about Ten Condor, some Twenty odd years ago, in the area some four miles north of Woody, Kern Co. California, that fed on the Carcass of a dead cow before flying into an Oak Nearby where they remained while Mr. Moore rode around the tree on horseback within fifty feet of the Condor without their flying from the tree. Edna Williams, of Granite Station, told me that she has associated the occurrence of Condor in her area with Squirrel Poisoning activities since she can remember. I drove to Poso Creek Sheep Range, east of Famosa, where the two Shepherds Bautista Aleman and Carlos Chamorro gave me information that No Condor had been seen since my last visit with them. I camped for the night on a ridge between Woody-Famosa and Woody-McFarland Roads. Sky clear - Wind NW - Temp. mild.
