Gymnogyps californianus February 16, 1976 Santa Barbara, Cal.f. with Dawson & [illegible]. They knew where the dawson nest was located (Rett thules in Cometti region. She is best bird info man, Rett said. Elsen is manager of a ranch next to Ske's. On the June 1 incident - after flushed, birds rose fast but not flapping. Two returned + one landed; Rett tried to sneak up on one & get to within 100 yds about 100 yds. before this one took off. From the of Chol- ame - Parkfield road, only 1 bird was visible (look - out ?) and the others were in the ditch where occasion- al wings were seen flapping. Many ravens + turkey vultures also at carcass - ravens returned. all birds departed 5. after ending. three birds together at carcass. Rett also told me that Larry Stevens had a condor egg he bought for $25 from an old collector who lives at Monte- rito. Stevens works at Parkard garage in Santa Bar- bara. This old collector (name ?) had taken other eegg too, 50+ years ago. Rett told me also that Ray Lotham, Larry Stevens brother in law who lives in Peachtree Canyon, had come to the museum wanting to know who was shooting the condors when the two were found dead in Peack- tree Canyon. One is mounted at the museum and the other at the Forest Service office in Santa Barbara (Josh Baublon would not give the museum the birds unless one mounted one was given to the F. S.).
