[EBB Sightings] Mountain Bluebirds on Patterson Pass Road

They were also there last weekend; though we saw ~ 20 when we pulled off on
the NARROW area between the 2 wind farm gates on the south side of the road
to photograph. This is only possible if you have a car as petit as my FIT:)
Beware: dangerous curve.
