Gymnogyps californianus May 6, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Cal. until I lost it at 11:39 when it was about 2 miles to S. toward Bear Mtn. I saw a golden eagle flop- ping close to ground today & noted that the spread tail moves up & down with the wing beat - possibly to study pitching caused by wing flapping (do condors do this too?). 11:53, I saw 3 about 1/2 mile W. of power line over the Little Creek ridge (S. side). One circled without multitudes & 2 dipped below a ridge 1/4+ mile N. of them. The Little Creek ridge near the power line has been one of most frequented areas in last few days - apparently on the flight line to SE. I have seen no activity near my "bait". Two cars stop- ped yesterday afternoon near there & were "jailbreaking" with rifles out of the cars - apparently there they were shooting at squirrels; condors & huzzards had left the area by that time of afternoon. 12:03, I saw 5 or 6 condors scattered over 1/2+ mile area about 1/2 mile W. of where power line crossed Little Creek ridge. At 12:06 I saw but 3, from 500+' to 2000+' altitude over that area; they drifted W., then descended to 300 +' level. Then I watched lowest one - it wandered northward, then (12:28) was joined by 2 others, & all were heading NW about 3 miles NE of Rexroth Corner when I lost them at 12:33. Breeze strong at times, looking at others, but # northerly. 83°F. I left the area & drove to Pano via Granite Canyon. Most of the road was
