Gymnogyps californianus May 6, 1946 Kern Co., Cal. lived w/ oil wells. At Baso were 80+ Herefords & a Kern Co. Land Co. sign - so, some stock in the area. A high bare hill just SE of Baso might make a good station for watching condors passing over. Thought: baiting condors is much like baiting trout (smart trout). It apparently can't be figured always. Different areas, concealment, are tried - sometimes they work but often results are unpredictable. Apparently trout & condors - like to be fed what they are naturally feeding on at the time, so should use cattle bait in cattle country, squirrel or squirrel country, etc. Drove on to Bakersfield & saw Bufort For. He said a man on the poisoning crew had made the 21 Cador report & that the crew was now camped at the old ostrich farm. For said the birds were seen "one day last week"; For also said he saw 1 on Tejon Ranch a few days ago (near headquarters). I drove eastward then to Bono & started scanning Mt. Adelaide area from the roadside at 3:20. At 3:30 I saw 3 condors at about level of top of Mt. Adelaide & near it, heading W or NW. I watched one - it disappeared behind a ridge 2+ miles E off mt. top at 3:38, heading in Kern River power plant (& Baso) direction. Then I saw one (one of same 3?) way up near mountain tops again, & it followed a similar course. Fair breeze from W., clear sky. Saw none by 4 p.m.
