I just found out why all those kids were standing out in the parking lot in West Albany today: http://shakeout.org/oregon/ This pins the time of our mockingbird sighting down to sometime a few minutes after 10:16 AM. Also I forgot to mention, there was a large GULL perched atop a tall streetlight pole, unperturbed by the simulated subduction-zone earthquake. Or did it fly inland to get away from the simulated tsunami?
