Gymnogyps californianus March 25, 1946 Ojai, Calif. Across the canyon top (200 ft) from the old nest. Returned to car & drove to Ojai where talked with Ranger Lyda. He said the new Supervisor Mr. Brenneis, was very interested in wildlife & had mentioned to Lyda the fact that the Audubon people wanted to make Kopper Canyon a condor sanctuary. Lyda was of the opinion that the general condition of the trails in this district was quite poor - many impassable to horses. Lyda said the oil company that had the drilling permit for Kopper Canyon had apparently folded up - they did not even answer their mail. Sid Peyton said the con dors in Santa Paula Canyon had nested about 100 yds. further up the canyon from the nest I looked in and about 8 ft. down from cliff top at (once ?). March 26, 1946 Santa Paula Canyon, Calif. Drove from Fillmore to end of Pine Canyon road. Left car at 9:10 & with Sidney Peyton Jr. hiked up Pine Canyon toward Santa Paula Lookout. At 11:30 crossed saddle near the lookout & hiked tow- ard Cienga Camp. Up to this time saw no condors though air very clear. Calm until about 10:30 a.m. Saw some whitewash near old Peyton nest (ret- urn in bent). In head of Santa Paula Canyon in the red sandstone cliffs saw fresh appearing white- wash at one point where I had seen it several year
