Gymnogyps californianus May 12, 1946 Nr. Mt. Posy Calif. quietly about 10' downhill from the condor. The condor put head down for 2-5 seconds, then raised it for about the same interval. About 2:20 a sec- on vulture alighted & walked up the slope to near the condor. The condor fed on - it appeared to be an immature with some orange on head. Rarely did over 3 seconds pass without the head coming up for a look around. At times the buzzards seemed within about 6'. At 2:24 a 5th turkey vulture landed & the 3 stood 15 +/- from condor. One vulture walked up to condor, then retired to the circle again after a few seconds. Evidently the condor was standing on its food & pulling at it with bill, the body lie- ing in a horizontal standing position. A fourth vulture in the group at 2:28. These birds were on a 10 +/- E. slope; the ground was sparsely covered with dry grass (3-4" high). After 2:34 the feeding was slower, x 10-20 sec. pause interval between nib- bles. The bird fed facing N, then W, S, E, & N, & W again at 2:41. By 2:41, 7 turkey vultures loitering around the lone condor within about 20'. Once the condor walked toward a buzzard neck out- stretched - the buzzard retreated & condor apparently to a morsel at that spot. Apparently more than one carcass or morsel present. Twice I saw the condor stretch out its neck & apparently lean over
