This time of year animals are having their young and can be quite protective of their nests or dens. There is a hawk nest on the north side of Greenwood Parkway, between the Greengate Oval intersection and where the parkway passes over the Rocky Run stream, and we have had reports of the hawk attacking people walking on the road. They will eat cats and small dogs. Coyotes are also known to be especially territorial this time of year, please do not leave your pets outside and be cautious when walking your dogs. Please be careful and aware of your surroundings.
