Gymnogyps californianus February 25, 1946 Bakersfield, Calif. Barley now; oats being unavailable. He had seen or heard of no condors since my visit of about 2d Feb. 2. He reiterated his belief that condors feeding around Bakersfield (on E. side) roosted near Baker Grade near Bena. The Baker Grade road goes up Walker Creek & one can travel it to Walker Basin. February 26, 1946 Los Angeles, Calif. At Cooper Club meeting in L. A. talked with *? (well known to Pemberter & Did Peyton) who said he knew two condors had been seen in the Santa Monica Mtns. last fall near the Los Angeles Co. line, & he thought he knew where they might nest. He offered to go to the place with me this spring. Another well known member said he had taken a trip up the to Little Deese road this year and had seen some condors high overhead. A woman said she had seen one close to the road near Sulpher Mtn. (mr. Ojai) this year. Quite a number of the members remembered me well tho they had not seen me for nearly 5 years. *Did Peyton thinks this was Did Ploford (sp.?) from my description of him.
