Gymnogyps californianus February 16, 1946 Shandon, Calif. Jan said Buck reported having seen 17, 5 of which were imm. Also talked with Ellen McMillan who seemed very careful in his data. Both had seen a single caron on San Juan Ranch E. of Shandon several times last year. They said it departed toward McChosney mtn. without much altitude, so they fig-ured it was a nesting adult. Condors seemed never to be seen west of here (San Juan ridge), but only E. + In Oct. of 1945, Ellen said he saw 17 once & 19 once. One bird now at Fresno State College (from water tank) come from near here. Jan said he had seen carons roost this side of McKeltrick on the old Temblor Ranch. Re the Truesdell nests - Jan said there were 4 sites at Beartrap Rocks on Mc Chesney Mtn. He had seen golden eagle share a corda at times. One of the nests was in the open so that sunlight fell on the egg. One was a hole so small the bird had to squeeze to get wings in. Truesdell said they never seemed to use the same hole twice. One pair (De Troye nest) was in the San Cayos. Truesdell said that once every 4 or 5 years one pair seemed to go off & nest there. Of the Truesdell eggs, 3 were taken, 1 hatched, 1 saved,
