Excerpt from Zoological Society Bulletin, Vol. 24: January, 1907 Willamette River, and placed in an enclosure in the forest. For two months the bird was under the closest observation from day to day and was treated to a diet of a pound of raw meat twice a day and plenty' of fresh water. Especial attention was given to the bird's feed ing in order to determine whether the natural propensity to live on carrion would manifest itself. It was found ultimately that it ate the fresh raw meat by choice and would never touch anything else unless driven to do so by the absence of any other food. This, however, was but one of the important observations jotted down. How the young condor began to master the use of his wings is best told in Mr. Finley's own words.
