Ford 3044 Gymnogyps californianus April 26, 1946 Ventura Co., Calif. Ouyama Ranger Station & thence to Ojai on Highway 399. Between this road (near Ojema) and the Mt. Pinos groups are low eroded hills which do not appear to be good cattle grazing country. This leaves Pinos Mtn. rather isolated from any plains grazing country. April 28, 1946 Kern Co., Calif. With my uncle G R Budenigham of Delano left Delano at about 7:30 a.m. for a plane flight to view some Kern Co. sonda areas. We flew west to near White River then skirted the foothills going southward over Kern River power plant and Mt. Adelaide, thence over Caliente to Tehachapi & landed. Left Tehachapi about 0830 & flew over Bear Valley going westward, skirted the west end of Bear Mtn., then headed northward to Walker Pass Basin, thence over Havilah across Greenhorn Mtns. to near Glenville, thence westward near Blue Mtn. and on to Jasmin and Delano (arrived about 10 a.m.). We saw no carnos, but saw perhaps 800 cattle between Blue Mtn. & Jasmin in the low rolling open country - appar- ently excellent carnos foraging territory. Saw few cattle in other regions traversed.
