I saw no more con-dors by 5:30 p.m. May 5, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Calif. Drove to Roxoth Corner, 1 mile E. of Famoso, thence about 2 miles W. E. on the Famoso-woody road. I picked up a black & white cat & a small jackrabbit on the road for bait - both in rigor mortis state & somewhat bloody. I picked up a squirrel about 1 day dead too. Then I shot an old sow which had been left by the sheepmen (shot about 7:30). I placed there carcasses near the crest of a hill about 10 miles E. of & 2 miles N. of Famoso & about 1 mile N. of the road (& Little Creek). I placed my car about 500' to W. of the carcasses & spread a tarp over it, leaving part of the two window uncovered for observation. I was in this blind at 8:15. Car was parked next to a group of old concrete building foundations about 7 ft. high. At 8:40 a.m. I saw one condor circling about 2 miles to the E., & about 8:43 it seemed to be near Mt. Foso at about 500' altitude. From blind I could look toward Oak Flat & Blue Mtn. lookouts. Breeze was fair from S. Low sun at 7 a.m. Sky clear. 78° at 8:30 a.m. My bait was about 1/4 mile N. of the Edison power line. 9:08, saw one turkey vulture, first I have seen to-
