There are excellent opportunities to see animals and birds in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park but it is in Cades Cove where some of the animals are easier to see. Here are three of them all photographed in this section of the park.
Turkeys seem to abound here.
This deer appeared by the road and I trailed it for about 200 yards before it bounded off into some thick woods.
Couple of years ago this bear emerged from the woods and ambled right in front of my truck, not bike. I never did get a decent shot as my settings were not compatible with this shot and I did not have a moment to adjust them. But a neat experience anyway.
