oford 3084 Gymnogyps californianus May 7, 1946 Fillmore, Cal. T. windy days + less on warm calm days, she said. Did Peyton tell me that on May 1, near West Fork of the Sepe, he saw 6 condors "playing" in air. Did P.

I hiked then to Nopper Rim, at 10:50 I saw one adult perched quietly on a top stub (12") limb of a dead br. at head of Parking Canyon about 200' W. of the road. This was about 3rd. highest tree.
