California Condor Eben McMillan 18 June 1964 Mrs. Dorothy Fleig of Shandon, in talking to me on the phone today informed me that about a month ago the county squirrel poisoning crew treated the Shandon Flats with 1080 compound poison. She said that no sooner had this poison been put out near their place than eight Turkey vultures came to feed on the squirrels that died above ground from the poison. She said that she and her husband went out to see what the [illegible] were eating. They found a dead squirrel carcass that the vultures had opened and eaten some from. On another occasion they saw a turkey vulture that did not act normally. They drove out in their pickup truck to investigate this bird, but it flew when they came within a short distance of it and flew away. Mrs. Jim E. Rutledge of Porterville wrote me a letter dated June 17, 1964 stating that her husband, who oversees the distribution of Compound 1080 poison in squirrel poisoning campaigns in the foothill area of Fresno County, informing me that her husband wished me to know that he had observed a Condor on June 16, 1964, five miles east of Fountain Springs, Fresno County, California.
