Gymnogyps californianus May 5, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Calif. one condor about 3 miles E. of the Corner - it was joined by a second. Both circled together & worked 1 1/2 mile S. over highest hill to 1000' altitude, then headed N NE as if going a long way. Breeze lacking at times, about 15 m.p.h. at others, from NW. At 1:40 I saw one about 3 miles E. of Refloth Corner. Then I drove around the "triangle", seeing no condors, & arriving at the E. apex at about 2:25. From there I saw 4 condors at 2:30 - 3 descended behind a hill 1/2 mile S. of Little Creek & another about 1 1/2 miles to W. was heading that direction. I drove cross country trying to reach the landing area - was stopped by a route, but saw one dark min. soaring close; an adult flap-gilding to W. as if just having taken off, 20' above ground; & at 3:00 a total of 6 condors in air at once over a 1/2 mile long area (about 4 miles E. of Corner). Most went behind a ridge out of my sight. I drove to top of a knoll just S. of Little Creek to watch. Fair NW breeze at 3 p.m. The condors apparently escaped without my seeing them. At 3:45 saw one condor (or eagle) circling & rising about 2 miles S. of me - it rose to 1500' as if to glide off toward Breckridge Mtn... I saw no birds near my "bait" from a distance. Saw none by 7 p.m. Breeze continued. I returned to Delano. GR Buckingham says morning breeze is generally SE, then shifts to NW in the eve
