California Condor Eben McMullan 13 June 1964 Joined us in discussing Condor. He said he had told his group that we were studying Condor. Mr. Hansen now answered most of the questions concerning Condor. We thought 4 or 5 o'clock would be the best time to see them in the Big Pine area. Mr. Mansfield, who is the oldest employee of the U.S. Forest Service in the Los Padres Nat. Forest and who placed Koford into the Mission Pines basin when he was doing the Condor study in the early 1940's, stated that the women who used to man this lookout then would go out on the balcony and wave their aprons to attract the Condor to come in and circle close over the lookout. Supervisor Hansen and his group left after about thirty minutes at the lookout. They were returning to their camp on the Santa Ynez river. Among his group was one from the F.B.I. Office in Santa Barbara, a man from the District Attorney's Office in Santa Barbara - a man from the Highway Patrol of Calif., from the Santa Barbara Office, Phil Ott from the Museum on Nat. Hist., in Santa Barbara. Mr. Mansfield and a Mr. Rutherford from Santa Barbara. I understood that they all had camped last night at the Forest Service Camp somewhere in the Santa Ynez River above Gibraltar Dam. All shook hands and departed from us with cordial feelings. We continued to watch for Condor from the Big Pine Lookout area. At 2:40 p.m. a Peregrine Falcon was observed circling about the cliff face that stands below the Big Pine Lookout about five hundred yards. Soon another Peregrine came out from under the overhang of this cliff and circled the area screaming. Both Peregrines remained about this cliff and continued to scream throughout the afternoon. We left the area at 6:00 p.m.-
