Ford 2950 Gymnops californicus March 16, 1976 Hopper Canyon, Calif. At 6:30 a.m. of this cold clear day saw one adult crunched flat on Whitewash Ledge & one min. on shelf over Big Cove. Latter had head tucked in. Adult tucked head in later, then out again after a few minutes. Puff way up, monk style. 6:40 a.m. had head out & preened occasi- onally. Tails Rear 1/2 of adults were visible pro- truding from 2 of the potholes over Big Cove (none seen from southernmost one). So - at least 2 cardors spent all night on open ledges off near Big Cove & at least 2 in potholes there. The roost- ing position was with head tucked in & at 11pm last eve it could be seen that 2 on Whitewash Ledge were crunched flat, 6+ feet apart, & the min. over Big Cave seemed to be standing but with head tucked in (moonlight night). One by one the cardors left Big Cove & flew down Carda Canyon - all gone by 6:55 tho some shine on Whitewash Ledge & atop cliff over Big Cove. By 7:15, 4 cardors in sunshine at lower Whitewash Ledge. They probably come from Last Tree or pot- holes on N. face of Carda Cliff. Adult so @ 7:22, 2 adults seemed looser on lower Whitewash Ledge. Walh shot some pictures of this. After 3+ minute one folded one wing (toward cliff tip in shade) & continued sunning. Both stopped sunning by
