Hi folks, 

No, I'm not talking about representative Taylor, that guy from NC who
is always working against the park.  I'm talking about the real
thing: Wild Turkeys.  They seem to be hanging around the Sugarlands
Visitor Center (Sevier County) a lot recently.  I drive by there 6
times this week, and 4 times 2 weeks ago, and they were every single
time.  Several other folks have made similar comments to me.  Nearly
every time it's been 4-6 hens.  Most often they are about 1/4-1/2
mile west of the VC, in the direction of Elkmont.  A couple times
they have been right next to the VC parking lot.

I last saw a Ruffed Grouse about 2 weeks ago between Tremont Road and
the Townsend Wye, in Blount County.

Charlie

ps, if you want a list of reasons that make rep Taylor detrimental to
the National Park, I'd be happy to share with you.

Charlie
