We’ve got some (potentially) sad news, folks. Hawkma’s reign over freshmen, upperclassmen, and faculty alike may have come to an end in the wee hours of the night. Though we can’t say for sure whether this is merely a Hawkmimposter, the slain bird does seem to resemble our robust, bloodthirsty friend. Tipster Ze’ev Gebler sent in […]

NYU’s adopted hawk family, Violet and Bobby, have been the subject of a lot of concern recently. Bird experts, and Bwog, claimed that the pair’s eggs past due earlier this week, but to the shock and surprise of live stream viewers, one chick has since emerged! College students aren’t the only people who procrastinate in/on […]

Roses are red, Brown must be blue, Since Emma Watson is leaving… We would be too. (EmmaWatson.com) There is nothing quite as annoying— With our hearts cab drivers start toying, “Where do you want to go? Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn? Ha, no!” Caught on tape, the act’s self-destroying. (NYT CityRoom) Speculation ensues; New, very low number […]

Watch Hawkma serenely tear at the remnants of her latest victim (RIP, unsuspecting city pigeon). Your mild fascination and disgust will probably not be enough for your attention span to hold out for the whole minute and ten seconds of video, but check it out anyway: Their vicious lacerating techniques may appear the same, but […]

Check out our dear friend Hawkma as he perches on that odd fence that has recently appeared on South Lawn. Evidently, while you may not be able to sit on the lawns for more than five minutes before a Public Safety officer shoos you away, Hawkma most certainly can. You go, Hawkma. Photo by Mason […]

Let it be decreed, our friendly Morningside Heights bat is named Batenawi, after Columbia’s latest controversial WLF guest, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. In the past year, we’ve had sightings of raccoons, coyotes, squirrels and one very special hawk. Columbia is a jungle. Grab your safari hats, kids.

Hawkma has returned! Big ups to Steve Welsh for the sweet close-ups. Doesn’t Hawkma look regal? Photos by Steve Welsh

Hawkmadinejad was spotted yet again last night, but this time not alone! Ah, love is in the air… Photos by Emilie Berner

Last night, the photojournalists from the John Jay 10 Birdspotting Department supplied Bwog with this stunning portrait of Hawkma, like you’ve never seen him(her?) before.

Hawkmadinejad made a glorious return yesterday, shredding a pigeon in the trees near John Jay while dropping feathers and guts onto the passers-by below.   More gore after the jump!

Ornithology Apprentice Eliza Shapiro insists that Hawkmadinejad has returned to campus.    We, for one, welcome the return of the talon-wielding overlord.

Ornithologist-about-town Jon Hill sends along the remains of the meal. But we’re left asking: where’s the beef?  

A student project at Temple reveals that our fearsome bird is now terrorizing Philadelphia.

Pretty red cardinals snuggle in the nooks of St. Paul’s chapel to stay warm. NYC bird guru Yojimbot and Hawk blog editor Courtney Doud see tons of cool birds in […]

I am looking for the bird that was in the tree by Avery during the snow we had on Wednesday, January 28. You looked so magnificent in the stormy weather, I wanted to take your picture. But I did not have my camera with me. You had your feathers fluffed and looked cold, but your […]
