Gymnogyps californianus
April 2, 1946 Topanga, Calif.
falls where cndors used to bathe when I visit-
ed him when roads were better. Chambers,
said that Harvey Anderson of the county forestry
dipt. was keeping track of the condor reports from
lookouts & others in the Santa Monica Mtns.
Drove then to Encinitas to visit Ed Harrison.
Ed says that Sid Peyton has told him he has
a condor egg and has been offered $750 for it
by Tufts of Canada. Stevens (Larry) egg was
really obtained from an old collector in Monte-
sito for $25 Ed said, & Ed had offered him
$50/$50 for it on the spot. The National Geographi
cas a condor article written by AA Allen but no
picture for it. Pemberton has told Ed not to
let them use any of his pictures for illustration.
Ed wants to have some of his kadschrones print-
ed in the N.G. or elsewhere & is worried about
someone else beating him in this field. He has
a poor opinion of Dan Bleitz & believes he is
only interested in bird pictures because of the
commercial angles. Ed has was nice to
the old condor nest near the aqueduct that Jim
Dixon knew of. Permission to go on the property
must be secured from Dixon & Ed believes he
can find the spot if Dixon will not go with me.
Griffing Bancraft can be found at the Canyonora
