Gymnogyps californianus April 25, 1946 Falls Canyon, Califi. 8 squints of carder-like whitewash & a fairly well white earl pointor cliff edge about 25' W. of falls brink. Several protected potholes in the main conglomerate cliffs had old stalalites of whitewash still, & 1 point about 100 yds. NE of brink & 15'- above seemed freshly whitewashed. Summing up: - there is still some use of the falls area for perching, & probably for drinking & bathing but there are at present only a few carders in the area. I ascribe this lack of carders to lack of food on the Santa Barbara & other Patrios & in Cuyama Valley. Snodden Ranch had many sattle, however, but mainly close to & in the foothills. Left the falls at 9:50 & hiked back up to trail (10:25) and to Dead Oaks Canyon (11:30). There I met the trail crew of Jim W., Duane Woolworth, & - Merley. Jim had worked as forest guard on Mt. in past years Adel, & had seen graces there but not carders. For the last 4 years he had been in the Sescior area around this time of year. He thought he saw more carders here last year than this. Unfortunately he was very loquacious but not much of a carder observer. Woolworth reiterated the story of seeing 2 men-the lion killed about two months ago and 2 or 3 "up above" (on the pothero side I judged). He said he saw 2 on the cliffs (my my "Bend Cliffs") about 10 days ago. He also said that in May or June of 1972
