Gymnogyps californianus March 22, 1946 Hopper Canyon, Calif. about 150 yds. N. of #12 nest on a rock point. 10:59 the condor took off, soared past the nest, & circled & rose above North Ridge & over the Rim near White Cliffs. Perhaps this was one of the mating pair, during the buzzards from the spot. I have often seen 1 or 2 turkey vultures at this area this season - perhaps the condors have their nest hole. Saw another condor circling beyond the Rim (NE) at about 11:05. By 12:00 saw no more condors. We worked at getting our cars out of the mud & returned to Pyramid Lookout at about 2:25. At 2:30 I saw an adult soaring 100t' above Rock Ridge & watched it until 2:44 when it swooped behind Arundell Ridge as if to land there. Dur- ing the flight the bird descended over Rock Ridge & landed on a ledge halfway up the cliff, then took off 15± sec. later, circled over East & Southeast Canyons (foot) and over foot of North Slope. Several (3±) times it put flat down for a few seconds, then raised them. Occ- asionally it gave a wing dip. Sometimes it cir- cled & gained altitude & at other times flew- glided & lost altitude. At 2:35 it joined another adult & circled with it for 2± min- utes. At 2:45 saw one jimm. circle & things rise to W. of the lookout & high above it.
