California Condor Eben Mcmillan 28 May 1964 Up at Sunrise - Cool North wind blowing - Sky clear but considerable haze in the Valley bottom. I drove to Bakersfield and the office of MTR Sheep Company where I was told that Mr. Joe Meglas, from whom I want to get death loss percentage on sheep owned by MTR Sheep Company, would not be in the office until 10:00 A.M. I then drove to office of Kern County Agricultural Commissioner where I was introduced to the assistant agricultural commissioner of Kern County Mr. James Stockton, a member of the well known Stockton family of Granite Station and Bakersfield areas. Mr. James Stockton displayed much concern regarding the information that Two Condor were reported to have been found in Kern County that had been poisoned with Compound 1080 poison. He asked that did I know of these condor and where had they been taken. I told him the birds were picked up in the Granite Station area and had been turned over, officially, to the University of California. I told him that I had never been furnished a report of the [illegible] result of the analysis of these carcasses, as yet, but that I did expect to get same sometime in the next few months. Ober Easley came into Mr. Stocktons office while I was there. Mr. Easley and I discussed the squirrel poisoning campaign that is presently being conducted in Kern County and which Mr. Easley is directing. To my inquiry as to where a poisoning program is going on where numbers of Kangaroo Rats might be getting some of the wheat put out for Squirrels whereby some rats could be poisoned on top of the ground -
