2865 Gymnogyps californianus February 7, 1946 Hopper Rim, Calif. Sunrise 6:50+, sky clear, temp. 75+. Left camp at 8:15. Arrived Pyramid 10 8:40. On the way saw 2 condors roosting in canyon W. of Parking Knoll. An imm. on a stub branch near top of a dead Ps., & an adult on a branch of another Ps. 700+ further down the slope, both about 200 yds. down from I road level. Perhaps these were some of those we scared from Cedar Falls area yesterday. Ruffs up to ears. Both perched facing W. & still in shadow. Occasional gusts of strong breeze. From Pyramid 10 spotted no more condors using telescope - found none on Whitewash Ledge or vicinity. Cirrus haze + smoke haze in valleys today. We left 10 at 9 a.m. for Whiteacre Lake (we being myself & Kidley- ton Jr.) and at 11:15 were about 200yds. N. of the peaks. Most of the trail was snow covered (3-5”). We continued on down the trail to Squaw Flats to the nest cave where I found the egg in 1941. I entered the cave, easily accessible from the trail 50+ yds. below. Found many bone fragments which I kept. This circumstance indicates that the nest has been used since my last visit there in 1941. However, the whitewash & smell seemed old & I found no dawn nor feathers; two plants of about 12” or greater height grew in the same month; thus,
