California condor Eben McMillan 25 June 1964 and the bluish color, to me, established this as an adult bird.

I am said later that what he was sure to be this same condor returned down Aqua Blanca and disappeared into outcrop in which West No.5 is located, only this nearer the bottom. The day was hot and calm. Probably this condor could be coming in to feed young in an area where he watched condor go into a hole last November. We hiked back down ridge towards Bucksnort. From the top of this ridge one can look down towards Dough Flat and Squaw Flat and see the formation that effects this scarp on the east side of Little Sespe complex. This formation leads to the striped growth of Chaparral that grows on the varied soil here. Heavy overgrazing by cattle on this area has created a situation very conducive to the protective effects it has as a fireguard. Even were a fire to be able to get through this formation, with its scattered vegetation, its speed would be checked, and intensity minimized, whereby control should be easy. The shrub mahogany, (Cercocarpus betuloides) makes it possible for cattle to remain in the Squaw Flat, Bucksnort, and cow springs area throughout the year. During the dry summer months cattle here browsed on this shrub heavily. The linear~
