California Condor Eben Mcmillan 28 May 1964 Dan Garcia drives back and forth in a Kern County owned pickup truck each night and morning from his home in Bakersfield while the crew of men working for the Rex Ellsworth Ranch remain at the squirrel poisoning camp that I will refer to in the future as the Horse thief Camp even though it is located a distance of less than a mile west of the Horse thief Flat area. Mr. Garcia brings his own lunch. He and I sat on the back gates of our pickups, as we had our lunches, and discussed condor and squirrel poisoning factors while the other members of the squirrel Poisoning crew, including Mr. Lee Kings, prepared their own lunch from supplies at this Horse thief Camp that is furnished by the Ranch. Dan Garcia told me while we were eating our lunches that he had only been transferred to the Ellsworth Ranch the last few days to oversee the application of Squirrel Poison from the Horse thief Flat Camp, he having been attending to the application of Squirrel Poison in the Maricopa-Cuyama valley area prior to coming here. He said that while poisoning on the Hudson property that is located on the Mt. Able-Reyes Station Road that large numbers of Buzzards had been seen in area and that he had seen two Condor, on one occasion, at a distance, while the Hudson man mentioned having seen five or six Condor on one day while poisoning with Mr. Garcia. Dan Garcia told me that Jack Hudson of Maricopa, Calif. had described to him how his Mr. Hudson, had shot and killed a Condor with a pistol some years ago.
