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.
