FW: [EBB Sightings] Patterson Pass Rd - Alameda County

This morning, John Harris, my wife Adele and I saw at least 35 Mountain Bluebirds at the same location (milepost 5.9) on Patterson Pass Road, at about 10 am.  The mileage is East from Greenville Road, which is accessible from Highway 580 East of livermore.
