I observed a young California Condor feeding on Carrion on the
highway which connects Camp Creek Valley with the town of Brothers
in central Oregon. The date was 29 July 1963. The location is
approx. halfway between Logan Butte and Brothers. This is a
high lava plains region, 10 to 15 miles south of the Mountains. It
passed within 100 yds. as it flew up, so there is no doubt as
to its identity. Its plumage was dark except for its
tail, indicating a young individual.
sincerely yours, John Rensberger
