California Condor Eben McMullan 15 June 1964 after we approached within 200 feet of them. The Condor, an adult bird, needed no run to take off but came up out of this depression on the wing, flapping vigorously, crossed the roadaway in front of us pulling into the wind. After getting out about two hundred yards northward the Condor commenced to circle and drift eastward with the wine, not seeming to be able to attain height easily. It continued to drift eastward about two miles where it hit air thermals that enabled it to mount up quite quickly to a good height. From this height this Condor appeared to move out towards the east some distance where it again circled and towered upwards very rapidly until it finally went into a double dip and then a fixed glide heading southwest. This Condor was under observation for a period of 25 minutes. It was flushed from the dead Jackrabbit at 1:25 am, and was lost in the scope due to the great distance at 1:50 pm. When last seen this Condor was heading southeast from a point about over Big Pine Mountain. We drove back and photographed the general locality where the Condor flew up from. My photo will have Mt. Ainos and Mt. Able in background. I also photographed the Rabbit Carcass on which the Condor had fed as well as one color shot with Dan holding up the Jackrabbit Carcass. We then drove to New Coyuma where we stopped at the office of the U.S. Forest Service. Ranger Morse was in. Both Dan and I were admiring a photo of a Condor that had been taken on Sierra Madre -
