Ford 3050 Gymnogyps californianus April 30, 1946 Kern Co., Calif. thence to Taft and landed at 10:45. Thence re- turned to Delano over Butterwillow, Shafter, & Wasco. We saw no condors but a few buzzards - saw no carcasses. Apparently these rolling treeless cattle covered foot hills are favorable for condor feeding grounds. Near McKittrich the cattle gave way to grain & oil wells far or to a large extent. Sky clear, light breeze at surface, air moderately lumpy in the morning flight. Later in the day talked with Ranger Oran at Porterville. He said he had been told of condors near White River by Walter Lerig (husband of tele- phone operator there) and had seen them soar- ing high overhead there. He identified them by the white patches under the wings & he- lieves his identification unmistakable. Oran seems very genuinely interested in condors. Saw many cattle between Port- erville & Springville among the grassy hills (many rough rock outcrops too). May 2, 1946 Kern Co., Calif. To get a look at the squirrel country east of Famoso, I left Delano at about 8 a.m. drove to McFarland, thence east about 8 miles, then south toward Bakersfield. About 4 miles east
