Antillean Nighthawk : Marathon Airport at sunset
Spot-breasted Oriole: U of M bookstore as you mentioned; I've had a pair around my house at SW 83 ave and 184 Ter every afternoon if you fail elsewhere. Late is better.
Snail Kite: One has been seen since June south of the mound past Gate 15 in Evergladed National Park. Enter ENP via the Florida City entrance, turn at Royal Palm. Right turn at Daniel Beard Center sign. Proceed to stop sign and continue straight onto dirt road until you reach Gate 15. Walk past the gate 1/3 mile until you reach a mound. Proceed up the mound via the NE corner and look to the south side of the mound. A scope will help. Walk carefully due to loose brush.
Gray Kingbird: Many locations. In the Univ of Miami area, look on the wires on the US-1 side, especially near the stadium. I've seen at least 3 on the wires on SW 184 St. just east of 97 Ave. Also, all along the keys. You should find this one anywhere in the Miami area.
Smooth-billed Ani: Wish we knew. Has not been reliable for some time now, with only sporadic reports here and there.
