UPDATE!
Colin, thanks for the note. You are right. It was the smaller of the
two mirrors that was hanging down. I was able to easily push it back
up so that it no longer blocks the image being recorded, *however*,
now my autofocus doesn't work. It seems that this smaller mirror is
now stuck up instead of down. Do you think it could be just stuck, or
are the "plastic pivots" likely broken? Is there a way to fix/replace
the pivots that you mentioned?
Thanks--
Stephen

The Rebel actually has two mirrors, one to feed the image to the
viewfinder and the other to deflect the image down to the focusing sensors.
The small secondary mirror sometimes breaks it's plastic pivots, and
droops down instead of flipping up behind the main mirror, and when this
happens you will get a partially occluded image.
If you set the shutter to Bulb and hold it open with no lens fitted you
should be able to see the problem.
