Ford 3081 Gymnogyps californianus May 6, 1946 Tejon Ranch, Calif. so proceeded on around Kern Mesa, stopping several times to scan Bear Mtn., but saw no condors by 5 p.m. The Kern Mesa & Ilmon areas had hundreds of Hereford cattle - unusually heavy concentration. At Tejon Ranch, Perry Sprague told me he had seen one condor with several turkey vultures a few days ago on the ground, on El Paso Creek above headquarters. He said that many years ago, (about 45 yrs.), condors roosted on all dead pines on Brokenridge Mtn. in upper part of Lucas Creek Canyon, where the road reached the first pines. Sprague's father used to log up there, & Perry worked there - he said that they were always interested in "the vultures". Perry also worked at Weed Patch, at a mine near Frazier Park, & other spots about since before 1900. He said that the condor num- bere seemed about the same now as 40 years ago. For information on condors on the San Emidio side of the valley, he suggested especially Leon Harris who lives on Salt Creek (road taken off near start of Whisker Ridge Oil Field road). Salt Creek Pete (as a Frenchman) and another old timer live up Salt Creek. The Tejon blacksmith, Morton, worked on San Emidio's Ranch a long time & may have info too! We suggested also Raleigh Dunlapy of who lives on Oak Creek south of Tehachapi - Dunlape run cattle on the S. side of the Tehachapis from Cottonwood Creek to near Mojave
