California Condor

Postcard from Bette L. Moore, Postmarked June 15, 1964, Bakersfield.
Calif. P.M.
We spotted a condor last evening around 5:30 P.M. flying
Due North just in front of our house. We're positive it was a
condor as he was quite low and the "finger" wing tips was
very distinct. Sincerely Bette L. Moore
A postcard from Mrs. Evelyn Farnsworth Postmarked Feb. 29 PM
1964, Porterville, California reads as follows.
I saw one condor just west of the forks of the Porterville,
Jack Ranch road and the West Linn's Valley road. Circling with
one Buzzard and two hawks, at 10:10 A.M., Feb. 29. Then at
10:20 I saw two for sure and possibly three circling over
the rocky point west of the Blue Int. Lookout Tower. I am
almost certain there were three, but could never see
them all in sight at the same time.

We and the road crew both saw four condors circling between
the fork of the Poso Flat & Granite Station Road and when the
Williams Road leaves the Granite Station Road at 9:30 A.M.
Feb. 26, 1964. They also said that they saw five about the
first of the month at Rancheria.
