A king rail (Rallus elegans) at the Carolina Wildlife Center, a place that rescues and rehabilitates injured and orphaned wildlife.
They get about 3,700 wildlife patients a year, from gray squirrels to opossums to songbirds.
This bird was found wandering on a football field at Williams-Bryce Stadium at the University of South Carolina.
