Common Hill Myna is without question in severe decline in Miami-Dade and may be close to extirpation. Poaching is among the suspected causes for the decline. The last eBird report was two near The Falls shopping center on 10/20/17 (http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S40026530). I must add that birders, including locals, regularly confuse Common Myna with Common Hill Myna, so the validity of this and other eBird reports is questionable, especially when photos are not embedded in checklists.
