Will This Raptor's Prey Be Driven From the Creek By A Trail?

This beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk posed for me between Robin Lane and the South Fork Peachtree Creek on January 21, 2013.  The trail proposed by South Fork Conservancy along Robin Lane would disrupt its habit and that of its prey, as explained in the post Wildlife and Environmental Preservation vs. Recreational Trail Development.

SFC should not disrupt this section of the creek with a trail because

• The trail and its use would harm wildlife habitat


• The trail and its use would harm the creek watershed


• We already have trails within a short walking distance from Robin Lane


• The cost of trail, bridges, and perhaps stairways would be prohibitive. See Trails Are Not Free !
