Gymnogyps californianus May 13, 1946 Mt. Poso, Kern Co., Cal. F. near same spot. to 11:12, I saw 11 condors about (oo at least 13 total) 1 1/2 miles to SE. 8 were circling in one bunch. They glided N. in a loose group, strung out about 1 mile. at least 7 continued N- in direction of the "triangle". Two lasted behind. There were 3 vultures on ground near where I saw them this morning (about 1 mile to SE). One condor spiraled down, feet hanging, + landed in midst of vultures at 11:17 with 3+ gentle flaps. The vultures flew off as adult seconded but 3+ ed but it were on the ground again by 11:20. The second condor circled over but did not land or put feet down. By 11:23 the condor had walked about 60 yds. to N., occasionally stopping. It pecked desultorily at the ground area, then took off (11:23), flap-glided low over the hills, then circled & rose until 500+ ' over its takeoff spot at 11:29. Two vultures flew close to it for 2 1/2 minutes during first part, + 2 were still with it at 11:31 when the bird (an immature) commenced a northward fly glide. This bird was a "near-adult"; notch in center both secondaries, bilated; notch in left side of tail. This bird swung nearly over me (500+ ' up) where an swin. was circling, then continued toward the burn alone. By 2 p.m. I saw no more condors; fair wind, sometimes intermittent, temp- erature 77° F., sky 4/10 cirrus & cirro-stratus, haze dissolved (Bear Mtn. visible). From Mt. Poso, Adelaide
