Ford 3039 Gymnogyps californianus April 23, 1946 Big Pine Lookout, Cal. from this area. Saw no more by dorks. April 24, 1946 Big Pine Lookout, Cal. at 7 a.m. sky 1/10 cumulus, fair east wind, 60° F. Air clear to W. so had good view of San Rafael Mtn. & could probably see condors there as well as over the upper big yellow pines in head of Falls Canyon. Would spend the morning watching from the lookout. At 7:20 I saw a large bird (possible condor) perched on limb of a stub on N. side of San Rafael Mtn. - gone at 9 a.m. Saw none from the lookout (with constant search) by 10:15. Then hiked E. along cliff tops peering down to look for condors or whitewash. At 10:25 I saw 2 adults cir- cling about 1/2 mile SW of the lookout. Continued on to about 1 mile E. of the lookout; saw 5 ± points on the cliffs or rock points on slopes below to S. which appeared to be condor perches. Many perch point possibilities, a few conifers for roasts, & many potholes & broken cliffs for possible nesting sites on S. side of the Big Pine Mtn. ridge. At 12:15 saw 2 adults part circling over a N. slope about 1 mile E. of the lookout; they circled in opposite directions & rose until 800' above top of cliffs, then - ?. At 12:45 we were back at the lookout - fair NE wind still, 68° F., sky 1/10 cumulus. Watched continually from the lookout but saw none until 4:16. Then an adult was seen
