On Dec 27 2007 at the intersection of Aurora (Hwy 99) and 208th in Lynnwood I saw a mynah perched on what I think is a traffic camera unit. I was in my car, the bird was perhaps 50 feet away. I've seen many minahs in Hawaii so am familiar with them. This bird was larger than a robin much smaller than a crow. It was black with a white stripe on it's wing. It's bill was yellow and it's legs were yellowish. It's 'crest' was not apparant. I was stopped at the light headed north. I had to move with the change of the light but I had a good minute to look at the bird so I feel confident of my ID. I am a birder and am familiar with the specifics of identification.Chet Lowry
