Right this minute, on the lawn in front of John Jay, the hawk that’s been spotted near Lewisohn and the LLC is lunching on a pigeon. It swooped down and snatched it in dramatic fashion. Onlookers, please send in your photos and stories. Bored studiers, please suggest names for our hawk. Apparently, they’re territorial, so he/she may be around for a while.

@areacode212 The hawk was in front of Lewisohn/Earl today at 3:00 munching on a little squirrel, in front of many onlookers. It was awesome. Go hawk!!
@anon Xerxes
@Go Pale Male and scion, it’s time to teach this pidgeons a lesson
@Alum If this is one of the hawks from St. John the Divine then it probably has a name already.
Then again, I doubt the hawk knows or cares what people call it.
@butler boi HAWKMEDINEJAD
@YES! that’s such a great pic
@10 bucks says the hawk was sent here by Simcha Felder.
@alexw I just want the Internet to know that I just received a nasty shock to the head via my iPod headphones.

@Awhile ago Last Thanksgiving I saw a fairly large bird of prey (mighta been this one) perched on the wingtip of the statue of Archangel Michael at the cathedral.
As it peered down at the suddenly-rodent-free courtyard, a mockingbird dive-bombed out of nowhere and buzzed the damn thing. Left a broken feather sticking out of his back. The hawk didn’t even flinch.
@how about Hunger Striker
@I agree Hawkmadinejad. No question. And whoever came up with that…well done.
@hahah, yes hawkmadinejad is brilliant. poll, bwog, poll!
@another vote for hawkmadinejad. can bwog do a poll?
@Jay Buhner I’d call him Stephen Ng, so he could be Stephen “Hawk” Ng
@CML You balded, tobacco-chewing demigod of the rightfield grass. How the hell have you been since 1995!
@obviously Hawkmadinejad. Don’t even think about disagreeing.
@Why not Hudson?
@concur clearly it must be named Hawkmadinejad.
@I'd call him Stephen. And I know all my fellow nerds are chuckling right now.
@Lee Bollinger. similar haircut. equally badass.
@agreed Hawkmadinejad
@re#14 I vote for Hawkmadinejad
@Well How about Bwack? Bwog could have its very own mascot.
@hmm It needs an honorary drink:
the red-tail = bottle of red stripe + 1 shot yellow tail, mixed in the gizzard of a pigeon, and shotgunned from its punctured carcass
@How bout Ichthor, avian deity of pigeon slaughter? If it’s female, then Ichthoria.
@How about Hawkmadinejad?
@oohh i retract my previous statement and also vote for hawkmadinejad … and gays are the pigeons, right?

@mahmoud mahmoud mahmoud mahmoud mahmoud.
our own petty and cruel dictator.
@Name Mike. Mike Hawk.
@Nathan someone put on their facebook it was an eagle. I was a little surprised that there would be an eagle in nyc. Hawk makes more sense.
@ARR I gotta say, that bird is pretty badass.
@More Hawkish Still Pierre, as in Pierre LaBranche.
@I like Ike How about a more hawkish Columbian?
We could call it Eisenhower, or Dwight D. or just Ike
Or Teddy, as Theodore Roosevelt was a CULaw Dropout
@how about 197c?
@obvious metaphor lets name him ‘exams’
@oohh i like “exams” … and we’re the pigeons, right?
