An aggressive hawk has taken over a trail in the University of New Brunswick woodlot. Red caution tape is now blocking the trail to prevent people from coming near the mother hawk. Forbes said the trail will likely be blocked off until early July, giving the hawk enough time to teach her fledglings to fly. When the nesting period is over and the hawks move elsewhere to forage, the threat of being swooped will disappear, Forbes said. Goshawks are known for attacking trail users in North America to protect their young.
