California Condor Eben McMillan 15 June 1964 in very good condition. We had a flat tire on Jans pickup (Sharp Rock puncture) As we returned down the hill to Montgomery Potrero. While fixing it we had lunch. Following lunch we drove through Montgomery Potreros. 50 plus Raven were congregated on a hillside feeding on the myriads of grasshoppers that are just now hatching out. Several Turkey vultures were also seen. We drove down Santa Barbara Canyon stopping at a creek crossing above Reyes Ranch where we cleaned up somewhat. Reaching the mouth of Santa Barbara Canyon he turned north on an old road and proceeded along the western side of the Cuyama valley. As we approached a small gully that crosses this road about three and one-half miles south of here Cuyama several Raven and an adult Condor flew up from the left side of highway from the bottom of this gully. There has been a fill built up across the bottom of this gully to accommodate a culvert over which the road passes. The Condor and Raven had been feeding on a dead Jackrabbit that lay about 20 feet east of the south end of this culvert and down below this fill that at this point was about 40 inches high. a barbed wire fence ran parallel to this road and was about 8 feet to the south of this fill or edge of the fill. This caused a depression in which the Condor and Raven were standing as we approached, this depression preventing us from seeing Condor or Ravens, until we were nearly on them. The Ravens flew up out of the depression and the Condor followed only -
