May 11, 1946 Gymnogyps californianus Sept here earlier. "Rogged" had no crop bulge 10:43, one, 10:46, the other disappeared behind the hill as if to land. 10:49 I saw 1 over the burn, & 10:51, 2 there. 11:00, the rogged one & another adult were about 1/2 mile S. of me, circling, at about 300'("rogged") and 100'(the 2 others). The 2 low ones skimmed close, med 30+t over the hills at times & frequently flapped, while "rogged" climbed to 600+, then headed to NW in a long flex-glide (11:04). 10-11:08, I saw one about 100' over the burn. Looking S. then I saw 2 (same as earlier?) circling, flapping, & rising rapidly about 1 1/2 miles S. of me. Fair NW breeze still, sky 1/0 cumulus. Two buzzards circled near the canyons. I lost these about 11:15. No watching then until 11:45. 11:52, I saw 2 flap-gliding at 500+t about 2 mile ESE of me. They soared close together, then glided fast, descending, & at 11:55 I saw 2 other canyons circling with several buzz- ards below them. 11:58, I saw 1 canyon about 2 miles to SE & watched it. It circled at 300+, aim- lessly, then put feet down (11:58) & glided down in a gradual spiral, disappearing between 2 hills at 12:03. I saw a second canyon also spiral down there. 12:05, I saw 5 with 1 buzz- ards circling low near edge of the burn. I then shot a few squirrels, then proceeded toward Peralta Corner. When 2 mile E. of corner, I saw 2 canyons & 4 turkey vultures standing on the ground 100+ S. of Little Creek near a telephone pole. This was
