Gymnogyps californicus May 3, 1946 Mr. Famoso, Calif. if thy had just taken off. Little Creek, which contains clear running water & is lined at spots with green gress, runs through this feeding area (the 2 with buzzards were 60±' from it). 1:09, I saw 4 condors standing together on the flat of a valley - one took off to NW & a buzzard landed 20±' away from them. These birds were about 1 mile S. of the Famoso-Woody road & within vision of it. 1:12, one of the groups danced toward the bay- ard - the buzzard flapped away. 1:13, one of the 3 left. 1:14, a second left, taking off into the wind (NW) with 14 flaps. 1:15, the 3rd. off, also to NW. 1:16, I saw at least 5 in air, & about 12 turkey melteries, scattered for about 1 mile & up to 500±' altitude. I investigated the spot where I first saw condors feed- ing this morning. There was a very maggoty squirrel in the hole, 6± " from top of ground. It had head some skinned & other body areas peeled. I pulled a leg - it pulled off easily because of rottermess. I visited the spot where I had seen the 2 condors with several buzzards near Little Creek - the birds spot proved to be about 15' from creek & 200± yds. from road at closest point. I could find no squirrel remains but a strong stench of rotten squirrel came from at least one hole (sense of smell evidence?). I drove down for Little Creek east of the Enterville road. I stopped
