Gymnogyps californianus May 8, 1946 Hopper Canyon, Calif. returned then from Big Meadow to the Rim. The adult was perched as before at 11: 45. Air was nearly calm, so I suppose this adult was localized. Saw no condors in the Big Cave or other frequented areas. Water ran at Cedar Falls but perhaps not above Big Cave. I hiked northward along the road. The adult was there before at 11: 35, then at 11: 57 I saw one in air just W. of Pyramid Lookout. This was an adult with short # 7 right pri- mary, and a bulging "crop". The perch was bare - so probably the bird from perch. This adult skirted the diffs along Hopper Rim going southward & rounded Parking Knoll without crossing Rim to E. & did not hunger & flight difficult because of dead air = perched bird near ridge at mid-day. I continued on up the Rim arriving at Old Cabin at 12: 25 and at White Point at 1: 35. I inspected the old horse carcass - it showed no evi- dence of condor visitation, but ravens & mammalian scav- ers had moved it & removed most of the meat - the skull was still there. Visited then my camp's left there at 2: 15 heading for Pete Logan's on the road. The low fog had dissolved about noon leaving a heavy heavy rising haze. Breeze fair from S. at times after 12: 4 but calm at times too. Saw 6+ turkey vultures. At 2: 30 an immature soared near me near Small Meadow Pass. It had # 1 left primary short, the "pointed" tail, & dark center to under wing patches. It circled
