“Owl Jam”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
Wildlife deserves the right of way in Cades Cove,
Tennessee especially when a momma black bear and her cubs are crossing Cades
Cove Loop Road.
The backed up traffic caused by tourist stopping to
view the bears near the road is called a “bear jam.” It is expected and
patience is required.
This particular day, the long line of cars seemed
like it wrapped around the entire Great Smoky Mountains National Park. When we
got to where the wildlife was spotted, it wasn’t a bear but a barred owl.
The owl was hunting for fish in a creek right off the
main road. We were following it around like the paparazzi. The owl eventually
flew across the road and posed for me on top of a dead tree.
