Goshawk Attacks Force Trail Closures | Anchorage News

Description

A Northern Goshawk—fierce, two-foot-long, with a four-foot wingspan—is terrorizing hikers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, diving and slashing at people near the Large Animal Research Station. Campus trails including the Wildfire Walk and parts of the Skarland Trail are now closed indefinitely as officials team up with wildlife experts to protect both humans and the nesting bird, which has escalated from mere swooping to actual physical attacks. This unexpected threat has disrupted runners, bikers, and commuters—normally used to moose encounters—forcing detours and raising safety concerns.
