Canyon area during the breeding season. Pember-ton was last at Hopper Rim on Dec. 7, 1941,

boys are well educated in condor lore - Pember-ton shows his condor movies to them every year (also still shows them occasionally to other organizations).
Pember-ton said he would run down the status of the oil exploration rights in Hopper Canyon for me - he believes they may have options or will soon.

Bleity also has "color" pictures of condors on a deer carcass on the rocks near #1 nest cave and many black and white pictures which I did not see. He offered to print me a set of these pictures when materials were available, + Bleity said
