California Condor Elen McMillan 6 Sept. 1964 at 2:30 p.m. Today Gregory saw Two Condor in the Palo Prieta Canyon 1/2 mile Southeast of the Red Hatfield Choke. He said both birds showed white under the wings but they were beyond the distance where he could see the color of the heads. Gregory said the two Condor appeared to come up from a side canyon that comes in from the north side of the main canyon at this point. They circled getting considerable elevation and then left towards the Cholame Flats.
