["Tommy Curtis" <tcbirdwatch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We just had a flock of over 50 Rusty Blackbirds and several Brown-headed 
Cowbirds in our yard.  At the risk of ridicule, one of the cowbirds appeared to 
be an immature Shiny.  I know they've not been seen here and the only place 
we've seen them is at Flamingo in the Everglades.  Just as I found this bird in 
the flock, something scared them and they flew back toward Smithville (we live 
on the west side) and have not returned.  We are about to leave now to search 
for them and would welcome assistance from anyone in the area reading this 
12:41 p.m. post. We'll be in a red and silver 1997 Suzuki Sidekick.
