Farnsworth Letter
967
California condor Eben McMillan Oct. 7, 1964
Letter received in mail today from Mrs. Eulyn Farnsworth of Glennville
dated Oct. 6, 1964, reads as follows.
Condor traffic (observed that is) has been almost non-existent
but I am becoming more convinced that if a person were at a good
vantage point for all the daylight hours, hardly a day would pass without
one or more passing by.
9/8/64 2:25 p.m. Six circled over barn briefly. Wasn't able to
see which direction they headed out.
9/24/64 8:00 a.m. One perched in bent pine.
9/24/64 5:30 p.m. One circling that ridge (Ridge by bent pine) &
9/30/64 9:50 a.m. Two adults sailing high and level over
Rock Corral headed just slightly North of West. (Probably leaving
Country because of heavy private plane activity on Pioche Fire).
Buzzards are still leaving at about one week intervals,
although all the resident group has gone. 9/19/64 one flight stayed
overnight in Jack Lavers Flat on Poco Creek. Then, 9/28 another
group stayed overnight in the trees Northwest of our house. They
left the next morning without visiting the boneyard.
sincerely
Evelyn
