Re memo SA THOMAS J. MANNING dated 5/25/72.

On 5/26/72, a search of the area one-half mile from the Steelval Bay Road on Lewis River Road was conduc- ted by SA [REDACTED] with negative results. No b6 buzzards or dead animals were sighted. b7C

On 5/26/72, [REDACTED] Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office, advised that he is familiar with the above area and that at this time of the year, the young buzzards are just getting their wings and that they circle the area of their nest testing their new wings. He also stated that there is a great amount of animals hit by cars and natural kill-off in this area, and that could be the reason for the circling buzzards. No further investigation is contem- plated by the Longview RA in this matter.
