California Condor Elmer McMillan 2 Sept. 1964 opened into the Stomach Cavity. NO feeding had been done through the anus. The eyes had been picked out. I had carried to the Bull Carcass an axe that was reasonably sharp. In attempting to open the hide of this bull further I had much difficulty in getting an opening. Chopped through this hide, 50 or more heavy swings were needed before I wore an opening from which I could then cut with the hide and enlarge the cut quite easily. I am now sure that without scavenging animals such as Coyotes to open the hide of large Cattle, Condor can not obtain food from these sources until they become putrid and decomposed, which I am also sure, neither Condor nor Buzzards care too much about. When we took to the sub-adult Condor that had lit near the Bull Carcass earlier was seen circling with general Buzzards to the Southwest so through it had just flown from a perch in the area. This Condor circled the area and passed from sight heading Southwest at 10:30 AM. All seemed quiet at mid-day - at 3:10 P.M., a sub-adult Condor came in from the Northwest Passing low over Bull Carcass but continued on and after circling some went out of sight Southwest, high -
