Ford 3059 Gymnogyps californianus May 3, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Calif. a draw about 1 mile SE of me - 13 flops max/min, 2 flaps per second or slightly faster (perhaps 10 pm 8 seconds). 12:06, 7 condors with 4 turkey vultures circled about 1 mile to SE. Wind about 20 mph from NW, 76°F., sky clear. 12:13, 9 condors + 3 buzzards about 1 mile E. of me (1 of these was about 1 mile SE of me & at 1000 ± '). General comm. enta: They search for food at moderate altitudes, about 100' to 300' usually. In many cases the condors land where there are buzzards, & the buzzards give way - do condors let buzzards find their food for them? The condors split up into 1's, 2's, 3's, + 4's, rather than staying & feeding together - two groups may be 2 miles apart. Bear mtn., a possible roost, is 30 miles from this spot. Brokenbow Mountains or Broken- ridge mtn. have trees suitable for roosting at a lesser distance. Many squirrel outside of lob. some remained untouched - these were bloated & still- ing & supposedly would be eaten eventually. I required about 15 minutes search per car- cass found. Re Joe Keyes: he was very willing to give information & nearly all proved accurate & unstretched; he was very friendly & talkative with me & but I did not mention Audubon
