Gymnogyps californianus February 16, 1946 Shandon, Calif. I broken & I lost - this lost; Tmesdell went for a camera & egg was gone upon his return. Tmesdell's second egg was rejected by Thayer as a phony - it was cream color while first was white. Glen used to ride the Mc Chesney mtn. area & see a pair roast in a pine tree (Beartop area). About 11 years ago El saw 18 or 20 roosting in some short oaks above Aumbles ranch house, at daylight (deer carcass near). Two were trapped there the same year - one died & was left; the other released & flew down canyon without gaining any altitude. El knows of 4 dead condors in the last 10 yrs. - each was discovered only because one of the few men who pay attention to such things was nearby. The one found near McKittrick had been seen many times by Dan's brother in law before he realized it was a condor. The men who know condors when they see them or pay attention, to them are far between. Buck Chester & Allie Lewis are good observers. Buck rides the Stone Canyon country & clear over to Coalinga so should be able to give any dope on the birds there. The McMillans think Stone Canyon just a feeding place, but Castle Mtn. is a possible roost. The McMillan
