Breninger wrote, "I know of no instance of the California condor in Arizona." Mr. O. W.

Where the San Gabriel Mountains cut thrn Los Angeles County, condors are a little more numerous, and from this district thruout the mountainous regions of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Monterey Counties, the largest number of these birds are found, but they are nowhere common. There have been a few straggling records of the condor north of Monterey County in California, but none of recent date,
