A Novel Find
In November, 1905, a California condor's egg was found in Sespe Valley, back of Nordhoff, California. The egg was uninjured, but the contents were dried up. The nestcave was in a huge ledge of rocks facing towards the south, the egg was found accidentally by a party of campers climbing about the rocks, and is one of the greatest pieces of luck I ever heard of; for who has found even so common an egg as that of the turkey vulture in the middle of November on an exposed ledge?
