California Condor Eben McMillan 29 may 1964 flights, in the Fish and Game search plane, this afternoon; but that they saw no condor. The first Condor I saw this afternoon was near the plane on at least one occasion. Warden Reed said that during the flight, the pilot, when crossing over Commanche Creek and out over the @at covered, me carried 600 ft per with bald, hills to the south, showed him how the plane would be pushed upward as much as 600 ft. per minute by updrafts of air. The pilot thus thought that were a wounded condor able to hold its wings out, these currents could carry it a great distance without any effort on the part of the bird. He therefore thought the Condor that was wounded yesterday could have traveled a great distance. Warden Reed told me that while waiting for me to return to Horsethief Camp this evening he had talked to Bonnie Harris, who said he was the one who had encouraged Howard Binkley to shoot at the Condor. Warden Reed left Horsethief Camp about 6:30 p.m. heading down Sheep Trail Grade. I remained to prepare myself some supper and chat with the squirrel Poisoning crew, who were now relaxing on their cats, they having eaten some time before. Driving down the Sheep-Trail Grade at 7:30 p.m. I met three young men in a jeep, all with .22 caliber rifles, one of which, at least, had a telescope sight. I asked these young fellows if they had seen any lions, or Bears, to shoot at. They stated they had seen none, but were looking for some. "We shoot 'em all," one of them said. They stated having seen Warden Reed farther down the Grade. It being late and 9 in a hurry I drove down grade and on home by 10:30 p.m.
