Ford 3035 Gymnogyps californianus April 21, 1946 Sespe Canyon, Calif. above this carder. The bird glided SW & passed about 1/2 mile W. of Sulphur Pk. (3:45), then resum ed circling. This bird had missing #3 or #4 primary in each wing - perhaps the min. I saw after bothing today. 3:55, this bird still circling - at about 500', 1/4 mile S. of Sulphur Pk., close to 5 circling turkey vultures. The turkey vultures circled about twice as fast as the carder. 3:57, the carder was at 1000' altitude, it headed Wt, turned one circle at two points, & passed 2000' above me at 4 p.m., then turned back toward Sulphur Pk., feet down. Then circled about 500' above brush, 1/2 mile SW of Sulphur Pk., feet up (4:04). It occurs to me that it is much more common to see a lone min. than a lone adult. It appears that there is no running carder nest this year in the canyon from Oil Well Point to Sulphur Pk.; probably there was last year. 4:10, the min. circled 100' above the bluffs 1/2 mile SW of Sulphur Pk.. I have not seen this bird flap or even flap its wings since 3:20. Saw 4:0 to 4:13, an adult about 500' above the min., heading SW. toward me in a long glide. 4:15, the adult passed 2000' above me. It wandered a bit, then passed back over me at 4:18, heading E.; the min. 500' below the adult. The adult glided out of my sight heading E. about 1 mile SW of Sulphur Pk. at 4:21, & the min. followed about 1/2 mile behind. Left at 4:30
