I just back from south Florida, and was looking for several of those birds.
Here is what I saw:
in the streets across from the Baptist Hospital: one spot breasted oriole on 88th street on a telephone wire, and two bulbuls across the street on the lawn, collecting nesting materials.
At the Miami Springs retirement home, I saw orange winged, red masked and monk parakeets. Early am is the best time.
There is a bananaquit in Hollywood. Directions are all over this board, and it is still there. I saw it.
There was, one day, a white winged parakeet across from the Baptist hospital.
If you want to see Mynas of either species, they are exactly where the TAS exotic species listing says they are, includ. Matheson Hammock Park.
Shiny cowbirds are in Homestead, but are difficult to see and folks there can be a bit suspicious about folks with binoculars. If you contact Larry Manfredi, who lives there, he may be able to help you.
I was very lucky, and saw, on one hanging feeder, a shiny, a bronzed, a red wing and a common grackle. Four birds, four blackbird species.
