california condor Eben McMillan / June 1964 find a dead Condor, that I would not move it until the California Department of Fish and Game had been notified and their written permission obtained. Better I thought, should anyone find a dead Condor, they would do well to notify the Nearest Fish and Game Warden and leave the bird be until said Warden came and took possession of same. I made it clear that Condor are the responsibility of the California Department of Fish and Game and of NO responsibility to the federal Government whatsoever. Returning to Ranger Station Ranger Plisco phoned the man who is tending the lookout on Frazier Mountain and allowed me to talk with him about the Condor dropping incident. This man gave a very incoherent account of seeing a Condor go from sight behind a ridge on the morning of 28 May 1964 at 9:00 A.M. This person claimed the Condor went out of sight to the southeast somewhere in the vicinity of highway 99. This would be at a greater distance than one could follow a Condor with glasses from the top of Frazier Mountain. He said he was sure it was not a plane for he saw it flap its wings. During the conversation the Frazier Mt. Lookout man spoke of wanting to learn more of Condor. That he is a native of the Ventura area but only saw Condor for first time since he came to Frazier Mountain the last two weeks. He also stated that a lady from the Audubon Society had been to Frazier Mountain Lookout a few days ago and where she did not see Condor. There mentioned to him of having seen a Condor on Mt. Pinos the day previous.
