Hawk sighted near St. Paul’s
Our Hero is making some appearances by the church, probably to enjoy the nice weather and the sparrows and pigeons that hang out there.
Jeff Chou sent in the following picture of H-dad perched on a lamp by the chapel.
AND Hawkmadinejad made his YouTube debut via an accidental filming by Xavier Estevez! He’s even got his own tab tag! Video and note from Estavez after the jump.
I was headed down to the subway from EC, and as I walked down that
annoying ramp-staircase by St. Paul’s Chapel, I was stopped dead in my
tracks by the sight of Hawkmadinejad, the splendid blond beast,
perched on the handrail, displaying his fearsome wingspan for all the
world to see and heed his terrible warning. By the time I recovered
from the paralysis of awe, he switched to a more staid posture. I
intended to take a picture with my phone, but as luck would have it, I
had it set to video mode, making this quite possibly the first live
video of Hawkmadinejad ever captured.
Thanks to our tipsters. If you’ve seen Our Hero around campus or would like to suggest content for Hawkmadinebwog, send tips to hawkmadinejad@gmail.com

Hawks is good eatin’!
nice Nietzsche reference.
i always wondered, do hawks even eat lambs? i mean, lambs is big you know? hawks eat like, squirrels on down. what the fuck was nietzsche talkin about?
Hawkmadinejad was my roomie.
He’d be a cool RAptor too!
he eats you for being CORNy
I wish Hawkmadinejad WERE my roomie.
GOOD SIR, THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECT.
Golden eagles sometimes eat young deer and goats, and I think “hawk” used to be more of a general term for a bird of prey, so it’s not inconceivable that he was talking about eagles eating lambs.
Gorgeous photo! H-dad looks sleek and stunning.
Yes, and dee-licious too! Hawk Fritters in John Jay in our future?
what a beaut!
doubt that Hawkmadinejad would taste good. He’s tawny and lean, not fat like our friends in order galliformes.

what does this mean? “He’s even got his own tab!”
on youtube. So there is a link to all videos that are labeled “Hawkmadinejad”
that’s not a tab, it’s a tag. also, it’s not that hard to have your own tag, anyone can do it, you just type whatever the hell you want in the box when you submit the video.
so basically, Hawkmadinejad having his own tag is as exciting as any joe smith having his own youtube account and the ability to tag whatever he wants. whoopdedoo?
whoopdedoo indeed.
Oops, yeah, it is a tag and not a tab. That was a firefoxian slip I guess.
Anyway, of course I know that you get to add the tags yourself (we tag on bwog too…). My intent in pointing this out is that H-dad is FAMOUS and IMPORTANT and having his own tag is just more proof of how frikin important he is. (Both here, and in the original post, I was being facetious.)
Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Hes ordinary
Dont the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Hes ordinary
Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one thats on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
Hes ordinary
I think I know why the Atlanta Hawks are playing so well in the basketball playoffs, because H-Dad joined them.
That also explains the lack of news about him on campus.
your comments are not funny, alanofcourse.
If that’s you, I’m a bit disappointed at your rudeness.
