Gymnogyps californicus May 7, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Calif. Left Delano at 7 a.m. & drove via McFarland to Res Roth Corner (arrived 8 a.m.). I parked about 1/2 mile E. of the corner. At 8:04 I saw a condor cir- c ling about 2 miles E. of me. Light NW breeze, sky only 1/10 cumulus, air warm. I saw 2 or 3 buzzards at this time. This condor rose from about 300 to 1000 ft. by 8:10, wandering 1/2 + mile N+ & see it now. At 8:20 I lost it at about same position - 2 buzzards were close to ground below. At 8:30 I saw 2 condors & 4 + buzzards about 3 miles to E. of me. These birds were all in the direction of Oak Flat Lookout from Res Roth Corner (4), the lookout & Breckenridge mtn. beyond being discom- fortable today. I then drove to a hilltop about 1 mile E. of Res Roth Corner & 300 +/- yds. S. of Little Creek. From there at 8:50 I saw 4 condors circling from 50 to 600' over the hills about 2 miles to W/E of me, & about 7 buzzards in the same area - this was apparently near the lightening power line which was the E. (+ most recent) boundary of the poisoned area. 65 F., wind faint to fair from NW (the prevailing direction I am told by airmen here). The 4 went down out fright. At 9:05, 4 again appeared there, rising, occasionally flapping. 9:08, I saw 6 circling at 400 +/- in that area. This group scattered, & at about 9:14 I saw 1 or 2 go behind a hill about 2 miles
