California Condor Eben McMillan 24 June 1964 see what he had on his mind. Mr. Parkinson told us that he and Mr. Dalen had discussed Condor this afternoon and that he, Mr. Parkinson, had recommended a system of Condor observation reporting whereby Condor seen at any point in the Las Pudces National Forest would be recorded by the observer and turned into the Santa Barbara Office from where a master list of Condor observations would be made up and sent to each District Ranger Station whose personnel would all be availed of this information. As it is now, according to Ranger Parkinson, any Condor observations that take place at any of the other District Ranger districts are never seen by him. This seems strange and a statement that upsets all information I have gathered from the personnel at Chuchupate Ranger Station who told me last year, that their Condor observations all go into a box in Gai that are to be picked up there by Jack Gains. Parkinson's idea was to make it possible so that one could track Condor from one location to another by Lookouts and other Observers. In other words, he said, Condor that pass Nordoff Peak Lookout at 3:30 p.m. headed North-east could be considered to be the same bird that would be observed coming from the Southwest at Thorne Point Lookout at 3:05 p.m., this way Condor could be followed and timed Parkinson thought. Now, I wonder if Ranger Parkinson ever read the rules regarding the matter of Condor observation by Lookout Personnel.
