[TN-Bird] Ruffed Grouse at Radnor Lake?

Chris Sloan asked me to post this for him because he's at work.  This is in 
regard to a report of a Ruffed Grouse at Radnor Lake in Nashville on Sunday.

I think this is more likely to be a poult (young turkey).  Turkeys can fly 
almost right out of the egg, and a poult could very easily be the size of a 
grouse or even smaller.   Grouse is so out of habitat, non-migratory and 
unlikely here, that it seems to me that a poult is much more likely.
