California Condor Eben McMillan 12 July 1964 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. E. Farnsworth A postcard from Mrs. Evelyn Farnsworth Postmarked Feb. 26, 1964 P.M.-Bakersfield, Calif. reads as follows. 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. Sincerely Evelyn Farnsworth
