That looks like a Brown Headed Cowbird eyeing a Baltimore Oriole nest. The problem with the cowbird is that they will lay one egg in several other birds nests. Their eggs hatch out first and the cowbird chick is the only chick to survive. They are terrible parents who don't raise their own babies.
@cwbill WOW -- you just taught me so much, and the photo makes much more of a story now. Thanks for sharing! Clearly I am very much a beginning birder. Pandemic Project :)
