California Condor Eben Mcmillan 24 June 1964 been Pressed by Numerous Interests, even from the Santa Barbara Office of the U.S. Forest Service, for information on Condor findings, but it must be understood that what information we Search Out in this study, Cannot be made Public, Not given to any individual until all information is in and Compiled. such information will then be made available to anyone who wishes it. Before continuing on South, we drove to Goleta, where we looked up Rex Kerr who works for Santa Barbara County Fire Department, and who is the person that AL MARTIN of Cuyama Fire Station told me had taken the Polaroid photos of the Condor Carcass that we picked up one mile south of Cuyama Pumper Station on 15 June 1964, when it hung on the fence. We found Mr. Kerr on duty. He promised to look through his pictures and see if he still had the Condor photo as well as the photo of an Eagle that Mr. Kerr said had been electrocuted on high power lines in the Cuyama Valley some years ago, and which measured 80 inches from tip to tip of its wings. We told Mr. Kerr we would stop by the next time we were through Goleta and see if he had found the pictures which we very much wanted. From Goleta we returned to Santa Barbara where Ian chatted with Mr. William Hansen while I drove about trying to find a parking place. We obtained a five-permit from Mr. Hansen and informed him, as we always have done some official of the Forest Service, when he intend going into the Condor Refuge to work. Ian said Mr. Hansen was in very good spirits.
