Thanks, Bill--wow! Hope I got this right; I will try to acquire a camera. Based on what I believe to be my local orioles' range, anywhere in the neighborhood just east of FIU and north of 16th St might be good. For those who are interested in checking this out, you could park in the Publix parking lot at SW 16th St and 107th Av and walk in along 16th (it's not gated). The encounter this evening took place around 6 PM, just east of the gated Vista Verde apartment complex that adjoins the Publix.

Good birding, Susan

: Hi Susan,
:
: That's a pretty amazing observation, as the Bronzed Cowbird has never been documented to breed east of Louisiana (although recent summer observations in Florida have led some of us to wonder about Florida breeding).
:
: I would be most appreciative if you or others could take photographs or videotapes of the cowbird, especially being fed by the oriole.

: Thanks.
