Glennville 891 California Condor Eben McMillan 13 September 1964 Ian and I were enroute to Glennville, Kern County at 3:05 P.M. After I had received word from Evelyn Farnsworth at 2:00 p.m. that she had observed 15 Condor this afternoon feeding on the carcass of a drop calf near her home. We arrived at Farnsworths Ranch at 5:00 p.m. and were immediately on our way towards the back part of her ranch with her leading in her Trap. As we passed above her barn two Condor were noted circling with a flock of 200 plus Turkey Vultures above the "Bone Yard", the ditch where she hauls all of the cows or other cattle that die near her home. Stopping at the roadside east of Farnsworth home one mile we were in the act of loading our Cameras and Binoculars into her Jeep for a ride into rough country where she was to show us the exact spot where many Condor had fed on the drop calf. When we saw two adult Condor coming from the Southeast, high in flat glide as though they had been traveling thusly for a good distance. After these two adults had passed on Northwest we proceeded with Mrs. Farnsworth to within 100 yards of a dead pine (Pinus sabiniana) tree in which sat a sub-adult Condor, on a limb not larger than 1/2 inches in diameter while under this tree the grass was well trampled where Condors had fed on a drop calf. We did not go further as the sub-adult bird remained perched in the late evening light and allowed me to take many Extachrome X 35 mm. Photos of it, while it practically disregarded our presence, preening its feathers, raising and lowering its head, defecating, sitting down on the limb with its body next to the limb and its legs fully bent and biting at twigs which it would take in its beak and twist as if trying to break it.
