Gymnogyps californicus February 19, 1946 Mr. Shandon Cliff. with Lee Chambers. Chambers acted somewhat in the capacity of an "egg lifter". He rejected one egg of Tures- dale's because it was cream colored. Twesdale then sent it to Thayer who sent it to Chambers for verification & Chambers again pronounced it bogus. The trip to the condor nest made by Dawson was at Twesdale's invitation in order to prove the validity of the egg supposedly some shell fragments were found which proved it. Carl Turscelman, Dan's brother in law, has a picture of condors roosting in rocks near McKerich, might have another picture show- ing 17 condors. These were taken in last 4 yrs. Near Paso Ortega is where Dan built a blind & tried to photograph a feeding condor. The blind was covered with an old hide & set up near a carcass. Not even Ravens came . Claude Brown took an egg in Beartrap Country. He was a good observer & quite a Shandon character ( dug a cave in a cliff near Shandon & dived in there, for instance ). Now about 60, Brown is a "beachcomber" in Panama. Dan said he will have Dan Mc Millan write Claude & ask for a report of his experiences with condors. McMillan's father came in Shandon country in 1884 & settled in Mc Millan canyon. He hunted a lot in surrounding country but according to Dan saw no condors. So Dan thinks condors were plentiful now than since far since 1900 or earlier.
