Ford 3038 Gymnogyps californianus April 23, 1946 Falls Canyon, Cal. Falls Canyon toward Salisbury Paters. Below the Big Pine Lookout 3+ points seemed to whitened were well as if used for condor perches. We saw no white-wing or other evidence of condors roosting in the big pines at head of Falls Canyon. By 11:45 we saw no Lone condors. Went to Cooper Camp for lunch, left there at 12:25 & the big pines at 12:40 heading for Big Pine L.O. About 12:00 sky was 3/10 cumulus & cirro-stratus, & large light. Arrived at lookout at 4 p.m., having seen no condors. At 4:25 I saw 2 soaring near the cliffs ½ mile W. of the lookout. They circled & rose & at 4:28 perched on a point atop the cliffs. They were The imm. spread with wings. An adult & one imm. (with wing patches). At 4:33 I saw 2 (possibly 3) over the big pines at head of Falls Canyon, above the horizon, circling. I saw another adult land near the perched one (6±' from it). This trio stood quietly together, & at 4:40 the adults left (to where?). At 4:45 I saw 3 about a mile beyond the imm., circling, at 6000' level. 4:47, the imm. took off, soared ½ mile S., circled, & rose well above the horizon (the last). 4:53, two (of the 3?) circled about ½ mile W. of where imm. was perched. 5:00—I could spot none. Fair wind from NE; 65° in lookout; heavy haze in all directions. Perhaps the 2 adults & imm. were a "family" of 1945
