California Condor Eben McMillan 15 January 1964 Circling our camp several times, gained considerable altitude and passed over the gap in the ridge to the North of camp and was lost from sight at 4:11 P.M. The Exachrome shots were taken at 78' at 500. Possibly too dark, for the shadows were long, and where the bird was in the sun, I was in shadows where I stood taking the film. One of two of the shots the bird banked so that the sun showed under its wings. The wind died down considerably and it warmed up about sunset. We went into our sleeping robes at 8:00 P.M. after discussing condor for two and one-half hours by a roaring campfire.
