Gymnogyps californianus April 28, 1946 Kern Co. Calif. In eastern Ammige Valley saw perhaps 500 sheep. Bear Mtn. seemed to have many trees suitable for roosting on the N. & esp. ecially the west side - conifers, some dead. If condors roosted there, Bear Valley should be a good frequented feeding area. Brecken-ridge Mtn. has a lookout from which con-dors should be seen if about (on the Walker Pass side). The Baker Grade area goes went through broken pale country & has no probable roosts - except Breckenridge Mtn. has best possibilities here. Blue Mtn. near White River also has a lookout & (a good condor lookout post). The low country of Tejan Ranch & north was very dry - perhaps cattle will be diminished in num-bers because of lack of feed this year & thus effect condor food supply. April 29, 1946 Ker Tulare Co. Calif. Drove from Delano to Porterville. There talked with Forest Guard Snyder (sp.? ) who said he had heard of no condors being seen since my last visit. except that He thought he had heard of Walter Craig of White River seeing some. I phoned Rosa Welchen-cadors (game warder). He said he possibly saw one with buzzards near Orange Grove
