Gymnogyps californianus May 9, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Cal. Light to fair from NW. I saw one up to 4:15 at about 1,500' altitude about 6 miles NE of Rimrock Corner - "going home" I judge. I searched the area where I estimated the 6 condors had been - I found many squirrel holes, but in 15 minutes search found no suitable food. I did find 3 squirrel remains - 2 desiccated & little better than skeletons, the third dried rather recently. This last had skin turned inside out, the bones of hind legs being pulled out of their skin. The skull was nearly intact; the scales had been eaten in the hide near ears. All viscera gone but most of backbone remained. The tail was present with hair on but detached from body in the other two. Skulls & backbones were fairly intact. This is probably buzzard - condor work. About 1/2 mile W. of the power line within 200 yds. of the road I found 3 squirrels, intact, upon which hawks were feeding (too close to road?). I found 1 which was consumed in large part but not turned inside-out. Cars pass on this road perhaps once per hour. My car was stopped & a roadster holding 2 teen agers & a girl stopped nearby, & the conversation ensued: "Huntin'?" "Sometimes," I said. "Well there's two big birds - turkeys or something - out in the middle of that field, and they're the biggest things you birds I ever saw." They were turkey vultures - the group's face dropped
