Saw this dove at Cades Cove, Smoky Mountains. That was the only 4 legged mammal seen at Cades Cove. We were lucky with bears though. We saw one on each day of our trip to the smokies.

I was excited to see this bear. It crossed our path, when we were driving in the Smoky Mountain National Park.
We also noticed a female with two cubs, but could not whip out our camera in time. Then we saw an fully grown adult male. He was sitting besides the highway gazing at cars. Since we were driving, we could not stop to click a snap.
