California Condor. Eben McMullan 3 June 1964 of Condor as a most important responsibility to everyone, and especially to those in Southern California. Dr. Stager told us of a Mr. Johnson, who [illegible] in Correspondence, several years ago with Mr. Stager, had stated that at a summer home that he owned in Pine Canyon, near Big Pine, in Inyo County, this Mr. Johnson had observed Condor for several years and the last year the Condor were seen in the Big Pine area in Owens Valley, there was a pair of adults and a black headed juvenile bird with them. Stager thought the Johnsons knew condor, for they had produced Condor feathers on one occasion to assure their identification. This Mr. Johnson had lived somewhere on the outskirts of Los Angeles at the time he wrote and visited Dr. Stager. Mr. Stager has not heard from him for several years. He will, nevertheless, mail us the correspondence he received from this Mr. Johnson, in years past, in case we should care to go to Lone Pine and look into the matter.
