[muise@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yesterday, while driving home (around 5  pm) I saw the largest kettle of 
vultures I have ever seen.  I was on the Pellissippi Parkway and saw the kettle 
as I crossed the TN River (the Blount county/Knox county line).  There were 
approximately 500 birds, mostly turkey vultures but also some black vultures.  
Unfortunately at 70 mph I didn't have the opportunity to really check them out.
