@Alum It’s not plausible that they are trying to remove the hawk. For one thing, he doesn’t live on campus. He lives at St. John the Divine. Hawks have a considerable range, but only the owner of property with an actual nest would have any need for a service like this.
Also, it is illegal to capture a hawk without government permission. Getting such permission requires a showing of bona fide need to do so. There is no reason C.U. would want to remove him. He isn’t damaging any university property or interfering in any meaningful way with anyone. At worst he causes minor disruptions when he kills something on campus. That’s not a sufficient basis to get the required approval to remove him. (If it was, every hawk in a populated area would be subject to removal.)
They’re probably just moving some pigeons, sparrows, etc. that have nested in an attic or something.

@No joke. :(
if they get rid of hawkmadinejad, i’m transferring.
@Witnesses? did anyone see a bird hunter person?
our hero is in danger!!! where’s the hero to save our hero?????
@and who will watch the watchmen?
We need a new type of hero or at least Batman.
@hmm maybe columbia is trying to get rid of more pigeons so they’re bringing in an extra hawk!
@Kim MacAfee Bye, bye, birdie
I’m gonna miss you so
Bye, bye, birdie
Why do you have to go?
I’ll miss the way you ate pigeons
As though it’s just for me
And each and every night
I’ll check bwog for news of you faithfully
Bye, bye, birdie
It’s awful hard to bear
Bye, bye, birdie
Guess I’ll always care
@Kim again How lovely to be a hawk,
The wait was well worth while;
How lovely to scavenge for pidgeons
And smile a hawk’s smile.
How lovely to have a figure,
That’s bird-like instead of flat;
Whenever you hear Bwog whistle,
You’re what they’re whistling at.
It’s wonderful to feel
The way a hawk feels;
It gives you such a glow just to know
You’re wearing lipstick and heels!
@................ ….lipstick and heels?
@Nooooooo noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If they do this, I am not donating to the school. They should relocate all the fucking pigeons/asian people who feed the fucking pigeons.
@Not Everyone loves the hawk. He eats squirrels and I will always love the friendly squirrels on campus more than the bird.
@DHI Well, fuck you.
NATURAL ORDER
@oh come on don’t you think he’s handsome?
@long live H-dad If there was ever any reason to have a hunger strike, this is it.
@DHI It could easily just be the pigeons inside buildings, though.
@DHI That’s it we gotta do something to Columbia.
Todd Gitlin’s body lies a-mulderin’ in the grave but his soul goes marching on.
Why would they do this? For real, this is just one of those things that convinces me of the evils of bureaucracy. Somebody with some kind of authority thinks they can’t have a hawk flying around even though everybody loves it.
@Alum Prof. Gitlin’s alive and well and teaching at Columbia.

@uhoh bwog – google news “khalidi”…mccain has unleashed his final, desperate attack
@still frustrated *by “so” i meant “see”
@frustrated. dear bwog,
how about you do some fucking reporting and figure out what those people are actually doing. you could even deploy (ironically, of course) techniques often used by what used to be called journalists. these include: “asking questions,” “scheduling interviews,” and “making phone calls.” You may have to take notes and think critically during this exercise rather than mindlessly recording what you so, so it may be tough, but it would be nice for you to supplement your snark with actual content.
Cheers!
@... haha you think blogs are journalism.
@How is this post snarky? I just thought it was meant to be kind of funny…
@Big deal. H-daddy can swoop down and eat that fucking van.
@Bye Bye Birdie, Inc? thats hilarious!
