Gymnogyps californianus April 9, 1946 Escondido, Calt. a corder there same shortly afterwards & the papers carried quite a bit of publicity on it (against the shooting). Apparently the nest was not searched for in 1905 because it was believed one of the pair had been killed - Dixon Dixon thinks the shot one was the youngster. Dixon said the young bird could climb the tree using bill to help in Dec. 1904 - the bird was apparently flightless & was seen being fed by the adults, however. In 1906 Finley & Bohman went up to try to find the nest. They had decided it must be on the steep south side of the canyon. Dixon talks as if he were with them. They fired off a shotgun from the N. side of the canyon & the adult flushed from close below them (the gentle side of old canyon) under a boulder. Dixon believed he had heard the adults hiss at times. Van Rosem knows where the old nest site is & has visited it. It is about 1 1/2 miles above the falls & in the not a hard old days was quite an easy hike. Dixon thinks the Volcan & Santa Rosa ranges offer possibilities possibilities but knows of no nests there. In Lower Calif. he thinks corder as rare as here. about 1/2 In 1942, about February, Dixon says he saw one young corder near at the San Luis Rey near the mission flying NW. find Dixon Ralph
