Gymnogyps californianus April 10, 1946 Hopper Canyon, Cal. f. Rook eggs from W. face of St. Catherin Cliff, then returned to the falls (2:30). We saw 1 adult on Whitewash Ledge there. It took off when we were about 300' from it & walking parallel at 50' higher level - the adult soared straight down the canyon. At 2:35 we saw 3 adults and one ragged dark immature scattered overhead. We continued on up to road & drove to Fillmore. Met Ed Harrison near Pete Logan's & took him to Fillmore with me. At Pete Logan's met talkative old Herman Keene. He said that 50 or 60 years ago there were 4 large sheep ranches be- tween the Geep & Wheeler Canyon & that he had seen at least 100 condors then & that they roosted in Pine & Caldwater Canyon. He was going to set his traps near Whitewash Pk. - he said that he had caught 2 lions in all in that area. At 4:55 I saw 2 condors soaring E. over Pole Canyon near Oat Mtn. - a late return time, but good soaring conditions right & plain this. April 11, 1945 Hopper Canyon, Cal. f. With Ed Harrison drove to Parking Place on Hopper Rim. He had brought a stuffed Doe deer - stuffed in lying dead position, with glass eye - quite realistic looking - from Los Angeles. We placed this about 80 ft. N. of the blind in Big Meadow and wired it to a stake, then entered the blind at 2 p.m. We had seen no condors up to this time. A very clear day - and warm - with fair E. wind.
