Gymnogyps californicus April 21, 1946 Scrape Canyon, G.H.R. much of its whitewash at the center circle, but a larger higher point appeared freshly whitened (8" on logiam). A roughly similar outcropping 1/4 + mile further toward Sulpher Pk. had a few whitewashed points also. By 9:00 m., sky clear, fair wind up Scrape Canyon. Only conspicuous whitewash on the cliffs to E. of the Scrape was a ledge about 200 yds. N.W. of the high falls and 30+' down from top of the 150+' sheer cliff (ledge protected by overhang above). Saw no cormorant or whitewashed points further down the canyon this morning. The actions of the imm. atue I watched should be typical of a one year old bird. 9:31, I saw one cormorant circling low about 1/2 mile S. of Sulpher Pk. It gradually rose to 1000' or more, then headed E. in a long glide at 9:50. Another headed NW about 1/2 mile S.W. of Sulpher Pk. at 9:50. The immature had occ. asasionally preened. At 9:50 it took off, circled over the S. facing slope, & rose above the horizon at 9:55. At 9:53, two others circled above the ridge about 1 mile W. of Sulpher Pk. they worked toward the peaks, 100+' above the brush, then headed E.S.E. passing 1/4 + mile SW of the peaks (10:00 a.m.). At 10:03 I saw another - probably the imm. - following a sim. sar route to S.E. S. breeze continues - circling
