utter curious hissing, growl-ing calls, but adults are silent. The nestlings grow slowly and are underparental care for about six months beforethey are able to fly. They seem to havegreater longevity than most birds, sincethree living in captivity in the NationalZoological Park in Washington, D. C, are now thirty years or more old. AGES AGO THIS MIGHTY BIRD RANGED EAST TO FLORIDA
The California condor in historic times ranged from the Columbia River south along the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, and from Humboldt County, in the same State, through the Coast Ranges into northern Baja California, extending casually into Oregon, Washington, and southeastern California. It is now confined to the Coast Ranges (Transverse Ranges) in northern Ventura County, southwestern Kern County, and southeastern Santa Barbara County, and to the San Pedro Martir Range of northern Baja California. Its bones are found in ancient caves in Texas, Nevada, and New Mex-ico, and in Ice Age deposits in Florida. EAGLES, HAWKS, AND VULTURES
