California Condor Eban McMillan 13 July 1964 a letter in the mail today from Frank R. Stockton of Granite Station, Kern Co. Cal - dated July 10, 1964 reads as follows- Gary Snow and I saw three Condors on a newly born Calf, (born dead), in the NE 1/4 of sec. 23 T26S R29E, on July 5th, 1964. As we rode past they flew to trees about 50 yards away. They could have been immature birds but they were Condors. I did not see them as we came back as I indulged in a game of Cocomusture Billiards - Fell off a horse- bounced off a [illegible] - Cow - bounced off the ground and bounced off a tree. Gary was to call you because they were so gentle that I thought some good pictures could be obtained. The Condors we saw on June 27-1964 were feeding on Calves two months old. We found another on south side of the hill so that is the reason we could not get a good look at them. They went over the hill to the next banquet. There could have been some immature birds among them. We don't report them unless we are sure, and we see many (Possibly Buzzards) that might be immature birds. We argue about it, change sides, and argue again, but do not report any unless we are sure. I am making it a practice to slash the hides of Animals so your chickens can have easier access to lunch. Best of Luck Frank R. Stockton - This letter should give an idea of the Concern the people around Granite Station have for Condor - and the importance they place on Correct Observations.
