California Condor Eban McMillian 9 August 1964 was up and had breakfast as the sun arose. Even though last evening was a bit overcast and windy from the west quarter, it was clear, calm and mild at day- break. The dust columns of five separate flocks of Sheep could be seen on the stubble fields along Northwest Slope of West Antelope Valley. I drove to one flock that was tended by a young Basque who I had never met before. The sheep in his care belonged to a Joe Arellra. He knew of Corvus, or Raven and Buzzards; but never heard of Condor in the United States although he talked of something about big Condor in Spain. The next Shepherd I talked with turned out to be Frank Mendiarra the man who watched the Condor that [sque who watched appeared sick and remained in a small Oaks in Marajo Condor with Jan Valley overnight, at the same time Ian watched it in the spring spring 1962 of 1963. He said that even though he has spent considerable times time herding sheep in the Antelope Valley and the Kern area near Old River he had not seen other Condor than those he had seen in 1963 on Marajo Ranch. He is still herding sheep for Sam Rudnick. I stopped at Old Liebte Ranch at Tejon Ranch Co. after leaving the Sheep-Tack Abercrombie had seen no Condor on Antelope side of Tehachapi mountains since seeing the two near Quail Lake which he had informed me about last spring. He did say that he and an Indian Cowboy from Tejon Ranch saw 16 Condor pass out of House Canyon that is on west slope of Tehachapi Mts. and up-Canyon about 4 miles from Old Tejon Ranch headquarters.
