2864 Gymnogyps californianus February 5, 1946 Hopper Canyon, 617' at Southward Lodge one adult no condor seen today seemed to have a bulging crop, yet activity apparently started about 11:30 and ended about 3 p.m. At 4:10 saw one adult near Two Pk., 100±' alt., heading SE. Perhaps today's feeding was nearby to NE of Hopper Basin. At Carda Falls, good clear water was running freely though ice formed from spray at falls top. The camp (F.S.) at Pendley Rock was abandoned - the trail again completed, I suppose. We returned via the road to our camp at junction of road & Hopper Ranch trail. No one but us has apparently used this road since the storm of a couple of days ago. The road is not possible to autos clear to end, but to about a mile from it (if dry). Impossible now due to mud, snow, water. No sign of the C&GS men - perhaps they have finished too. The burn which swept up from the creek bottom 1½ mile below Oscar's to the W. Rim has grown up so as to form a fairly effective barrier to man or horse. A tractor trail cuts off the road E. of Oscar's & goes to Carda Creek below (¼ mile) Big Cave. One adult at Big Cave had a short outer secondary in each wing. One bird had #6 ± left primary missing. I searched for leg band on close seeing condors - closest adult 50±' overhead - but saw none.
