NOTES 317 CALIFORNIA CONDOR SURVEY, 1972 The eighth annual California condor (Gyninogyps californianxis) sur- vey was conducted on October 11 and 12, 1972. Twenty observation stations were manned by 50 observers. Survey methods and evaluation procedures were essentially the same as those for past surveys (Carrier, et al. 1972), except that deer carcasses were placed at three locations on the Tejon Ranch, Kern County and one location on the edge of the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, Ventura County in an effort to congregate condors. Counting started at noon each day and ran until dark. Daily survey results were transmitted to survey headquarters in Bakersfield, California. Observation stations on the Tejon Ranch, Kern County, were equipped with radios, so movement of birds congregated in the area could be closely monitored.

Day temperatures were moderate, varying from 55 F at Tollgate Lookout, Tulare County, to 70 F at Green Cabins near the south boundary of the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, Ventura County. Weather on October 12 was partly over- cast, temperatures varied from 40 F on Mt. Pinos, Ventura County, to 65 F at Green Cabins. Winds increased slightly.
