California Condor Ebam (ne)millan 13 June 1964 watched us for several minutes before slowly slipping out of sight into the dense chaparral above the road. One of these bucks had only one quite large forked antler on one side - I took several photographs of them. Another small buck deer was frightened from the road as we drove among the timber on the north side of Big Pine mountain. We carried the deer carcass we had taken from home to the top of the saddle west of where the road forks where the Big Pine Lookout takes off from Big Pine - Sierra madre ridge road and overlooks Bluff camp below. The deer carcass was opened at the punch and [illegible] ham, some meat being taken for the Falcon. We then drove on to Big Pine Lookout. Since we were here last, on horseback, the lookout building had been boarded up and painted white. The Cabin near the lookout had also been repaired and things generally looked much more respective now. Having arrived at the lookout at about 11:00 A.M. we inspected the area before eating lunch at 12:00 noon. At 1:00 P.M. Two automobiles drove up to the Big Pine lookout one of which was a U.S. Government Car, [illegible] Las padres Supervisor William Hansen rode along with several other men. A small pickup followed the Government car. Three men were in this pickup. I remained for some minutes at a lookout station I had taken up to watch for condor before going up to the Lookout building where-
