The recent lookout at Josephine Pk. is Stan H. Barnum of 1021 Fairview Drive, La Canada, & he will go up to Josephine Pk. about mid-June. At Newhall talked with Ranger McCormack & assistant New- ard Evans. McCormack said that vultures were reported from West Liebre & Whittaker Pk. in this district occasionally. He said that he saw 9 once near Big Pine Lookout (w. of it) in April of about 1937 when with C.G. Robinson. Evans said he had seen 2 (?) near Alpine Mtns. near Palmdale, once (I doubt his identification), that he had spent considerable time in Liebre Mtn. last summer but had seen more, & that his father caught one once (bird feeding by roadside, couldn't take off - turkey culture probably). McCormack volunteered to instruct his lookouts to watch for vultures & send information thereon.
