Molothrus ater
Member of the blackbird family. Only parasitic bird in the Carolinas. Does not nest and lays egg in a host nest for the host to raise it. Some expel the invading egg while others care for it along with it's own young.
Adult male standing on an old feeder watching for insects. He kept one leg up a bit...possibly injured?
