California condor Eben Mcmillan 18 September 1964 a letter from Mrs. Evalyn Farnsworth dated 9/17/64 reads as follows This is the condor Activity since you left 9/14/64 2:45 p.m. one circling with Buzzards over burn 9/14/64 9:50 A.M. one with a notch next to body on left wing came from SE over south slope of Big Hill, circled over carcass of cow east of Rock Corral 9/16/64 3:40 p.m. one circling over Edna Mountain. " 5:30 p.m. one circling with Buzzards over burn 9/17/64-2:20 p.m. one came up from back side of the peak high peak of the Morrison Ridge south of the Water Tank. you should see the way the birds cleaned the Bull carcass, apparently the "watch" a skinned on the ham was ideal for they cleaned the entire carcass, leaving the skin over the bones with only a few holes in it. The Buzzards have been leaving in small groups ever since you were here. Saw two interesting things today. At about 2 p.m., I saw a group of about 27 coming from up Linn's Valley sailing high and level going south. They passed quite close to a group of "resident Buzzards" that were circling pretty high but they didn't mix at all, Then just before sundown I saw about 50 some sailing straight from the west (traveling like the migrating groups do) and joined the local group in the pines. At the same time a group of around a hundred was spiraling off in the Puett Bridge area. They also leveled off and joined the group here and are roosting in the pines tonight. Probably most of them will leave tomorrow—Farnsworth
