The Condor is a regular visitor to the Big Pine area at least during the spring months. Condor. At the times I observed the Condor on the West Big Pine Ridge, we were working trail about four or eight miles west of the lookout towards Mission Pines Basin. They were seen circling fairly high overhead, usually late morning hours and early afternoons. The time of year was May, it was clear weather, with warm days and cold nights. Condor. The birds that were seen sitting in trees were seen earlier in the year, late March or early April; I can't recall the time of day, but it was probably morning hours. They were sitting in the old dead snag along the Big Pine Road between Big Pine and Alamar Guard Station. Signed Don S. Roberts.
