Ford 3030 Gymnogyps californianus April 18, 1946 San Diego Co., Calif. that Fred Ballups of Escandido, a collector of eggs, said that he had heard reports from different sources of condors being seen in the Julian area. Perhaps near Banner Grade, Hanson & Harrison thought likely. Ed & I drove to Rincon, thence toward Lake Henshaw up Ouca Grade until about 2 miles be- yond the Palomar Mtn. road (new) and 1/2 +/- mile beyond the Mendenhall Ranch house. There we turned off to the S., thru a locked gate and drove about 2 miles to road's end at caretaker house at dam on San Luis Rey River. The old condor nest area was on S. side of river atop the crest 500+' above river, suppos- edly. In that area were many huge granite boulders interspersed in the brush & a few lone conifers (to apparently would be suitable for roosting). There was a waterfall 200+' above river opposite the caretakers shack - a condor could water atop top it appeared. Further down the canyon were other large rounded granite outcroppings along the river. We hiked about 2 miles downstream along the flume, took a few pictures of the outcroppings & terrain, then returned up the can- yon. Good condor nesting area, it appeared. One could look up the canyon & see Palomar Mtn. with its many conifers (possible roosts of old). We returned to road & drove to Pala, Bonsall, Oseri
