Hello, I am new to this list, but here goes:

Shortly after yesterday's earthquake, I found a dead pine siskin in my
feeder. It was inside the caged portion of a "haven" feeder, so it was
not killed by a predator.

I imagine it died of a heart attack caused by fright, because of the
earthquake. Is this a reasonable assumption? Have other people observed
dead birds after an earthquake? Is anybody keeping track of related
data?

Thank you.
