Ford 3093 Gymnogyps californianus May 11, 1946 Nr. Famoso, Calif. a spot 2± mile S. of me as if rising from spot where I saw first few today. By 2:55 I saw 2 go down as if to alight at 2 different spots ½ ± mile E. of that area. 3:05, I again saw 2 circle down about ¼ mile apart about 2 miles SE of me. Again saw one second between the hills somewhat (¼± mile) W. of the previous 2 at 3:10 3:13, I saw 1 about 2 miles to E.; it soared S. about 2 miles, then N. ½ ± mile & spiraled slowly down be- tween the hills. 3:25, 4 condors & 5 turkey vultures were circling & rising about 2 miles to SSE.. The condors rose to 1000± altitude, then at least 2 headed eastward as if "going home". At about 3:40 I saw 2 about 2 mile S. of me, one at 100± & 1 at 500'. Both circled & rose. The lower rose to about level of cumulus clouds (2000' altitude) and at 3:45 gave a wing dip & started a long glide in the direction of Breckenridge Mtn. (I suppose the other did likewise). 4 p.m., I saw an adult about 2 miles SSE. It circled & rose to 800± alt. itude, then slowly descended circling & was 100± over hills with another condor at 4:07. Then it rose again & glided SE for perhaps 1 or 2 mile, then circled 4± times & glided S± (lost at 4:17). Then I saw another adult circle & rise & lost to 1000± about 2 miles S. of me (lost at 4:22). Apparently the "home roast" is to SE of this area. Fair NW wind, sky ¼ cumulus. Saw no more by 4:30,
