California Condor Eben McMullan 24 July 1964 This is to record a letter which has been hidden in my brief case for several months and thereby not having been entered where and when it should have been. It is from Wald0 abbott and dated Santa Barbara Cal. Mar. 22, 1963 Just a quick Note to report the sighting of 2 Condor, March 21, 1963. Cliff (Clifton Smith) and I took a trip into the Sierra Madre yesterday and while at Timber Peak had the pleasure of having one bird come by at 2:40pm, following the ridge in a easterly direction towards Sanctuary. Three miles down the ridge towards Miranda Pines was another Going in the same direction. I assume they had been feeding in the Cuyama and were taking advantage of the Stormy updrafts on the south side of the ridge to help them on their way. I imagine if a person were to spend some time up there he would see these birds quite often, sailing by. One was a real old bird with a very light line across the back and wings. They were about 50 ft. above us, but out about 100 Yards. Wonderful display of the primary feathers in action as they felt the draft. Waldo.
