California Condor Eben McMillan 14 January 1964 This gap appeared to be due to the shortage of at least two feathers. No gap could be seen in the feathers of the other Condor. These two birds circled above us for about two minutes at a height of about two hundred yards above where we stood. A strong east wind was blowing at the time. This wind seemed to effect the flight of this pair of Condor in no way. At 5:03 this pair of Condor moved on Northeastward and disappeared below the ridge to the North. As these two Condor passed from sight they were heading in the general direction of The Hole-in-the-wall in Upper Hopper Canyon. A Horned Owl called from the large California Walnut tree that stood up the draw about 150 feet above where we were camped at 7:15. P.M. Due to the Cold temperature, and high wind, we went into out Sleeping robes soon after 6:00 P.M.,
