Letter from Waldo Abbott 825 California Condor Eben J. Millan 24 July 1964 A letter from Waldo Abbott, of Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History in Santa Barbara, in answer to queries concerning condor observations Mr. Abbott had made at Sedgwick Ranch, west slope of Figueroa Mt. in the Santa Ynez River drainage of Santa Barbara County, the following is recorded - Letter dated 10 July-1964 Condor The Two Condor we observed on the Sedgwick Ranch was in November 21, 1954. They were seen over a period of 2-3 months around that area, during that winter. And also we saw 2 which could have been the same ones soaring over the Paradise Camp turn off road from the San Marcos Rd. These were seen in January 1955. Also a letter from Mrs. Jim Rutledge of Porterville who [illegible] answered my question to her as to the time of day, and what the 8 Condor were feeding on, when Mr. Rutledge saw them on 19 June 1964, STATISTICS I entered these [illegible] on Page 783 to correspond with the first information I received of Mr. Rutledge seeing these birds. Mrs. Rutledge also stated that Jim Rutledge saw 2 (two) Condor at 8:30 A.M. the 22nd June, just west of Springville, Tulare Co. Calif.
