T. Code 1959 4 June Schwader - about four miles above the Saddlewocht. 0915 - left the Boulderdin and started hiking up the rise on the NW side of Schwader, starting at the old USGS cache. Crossed the divide into the head of "Buteo" Creek (the one where eagles were reported) passing on west side of Schwader Knob. There was still quite a lot of snow (60% cover) on the divide but once into the creek valley, most of the snow was gone. We threaded the left limit of the creek for about a mile, then crossed over to the right limit and continued on that side to the bluffs. We reached the creek bottom first at 1105. 1410 we arrived at the bluffs where the eagles had been reported. Atte lunch. Found wrangl legs and peregrines but no eagles. 1530 - we started back climbing up on top of the divide that separates Buteo Creek from the next drainage to the eastward. We followed this long sloping ridge all the way back to the borey Schwader Knob,
