California Condor in Los Angeles County

A California Condor (mmnogyps californianus) was observed February 16, 1915, and reported to me, by a gentleman from Covina. The bird was in flight low overhead in the San Jose Hills, near Covina. (This is the little bunch of hills lying between Covina, Puente, Pomona and Lordsburg.) Condors used to be very common in this range of hills, but are so seldom seen now that I thought the instance worth recording.
