“Demon Squirrel Feasts Upon Peanuts” is one of many new campus wildlife photos on the Hawkmadinebwog this month.  In which we check in on the happenings of the Hawkmadinebwog and its editor, Courtney Dowds, as they start up the new semester. Welcome back to the neighbirdhood, everyone. Revisting a grade-school favorite in My Side of the Mountain. […]

Although Hawkmadinebwog does not profess to be the highest authority on raptors, we have recently made the informed decision to call Hawkmadinejad by female pronouns. There is no absolute way for us to tell if the campus hawk is male or female other than DNA sex testing or actually watching Hawkma mate or lay an […]

Exciting news for fans of the Hawkmadinebwog: your winged hero is now on Facebook! United in Fear and Awe of Hawkmadinejad is our official hawk fansite, which you are all invited to join. We’ll keep the group updated with pictures, videos, and lively discussion of all the terrible squirrel violence that’s happening right here, at […]

(Hi Gothamist!) After spending much of the day on upper campus, Hawkmadinejad finally caught her lunch on the South Lawn. The catch was not quite so dramatic as the last time we saw her dine at Columbia, but the pictures are still pretty excellent. The creature was too small to be a squirrel, and hawkmadinebwog struggled to get a clear […]

If you recall, a while ago Bwog tried it’s hand at Craigslist’s Missed Connections for Columbia students.  While the primary object of longing was Hawkmadinejad, the rest of the student body was not impressed.  However, a tipster showed us that Craigslist had a few Columbia-related connections, just waiting to be brought together.  Bwog, in a […]

Bwog would like take this time to officially welcome our new Hawkmadinebwog editor, Courtney Douds. You might remember Douds from her many magnificent photo contributions. There’s been a lot going on Hawk-wise this week, here’s what you might have missed: The hawk knows to eat students right after they leave Butler — they’re at the […]

Avian tipster extraordinaire Courtney Douds has sent along the following absolutely insane photos of your Hawkmadeinjad ruthlessly tearing into her* prey outside Math today.  * Douds also points out that “this red-tail is of a size that makes her more likely to be female, since female raptors tend to be about a third larger than […]

Hawkmadinejad has decided to become more camera-friendly – photographer Samantha Greenberg brings us some photos from outside Earl Hall. More after the jump.

Thanks to Rob Stenson for taking this lovely photo.

Bwog tipster Tipper Austin, CC ’11, alerted us of the presence of a Bird Relocation Expert on campus.  Worried that Our Hero may be in danger, we scurried out to College Walk and saw this van.  

Last week, campus welcomed the heroic return of its illustrious talon-wielding raptor mascot and friend, Hawkmadinejad. Bwog got so excited at the prospect of an extended stay by our friend at Columbia this fall that we jumped in on all of the hooplah by creating a Hawkmadinejad 1977 Prom Photoshop Contest in his honor. This […]

A few days ago, when campus welcomed the returned of local hero Hawkmadinejad, Bwog couldn’t help but notice how handsome your Hawk looked! Bwog Culinary and Sciences Bureau Chief Jon Hill agreed, but asked, somewhat rhetorically, “More handsome than even in his 1977 prom photo?” Hill had gone back into the Hawkmadinejad family archives and […]

Hawkmadinejad, Winged Hero of Morningside, appears to have returned to campus. O, glorious return! Your bird has been spotted outside of Hamilton (correction: where he promptly devoured a pigeon), Butler (where he promptly devoured a pigeon) and Riverside and 109th. More photos of his fearfulness and sublimity below! Saakashtweety, prepare thyself.  Photo by Lauren Weiss

For a three-day week, it sure felt a lot longer. Maybe it was the newness, maybe it was the heat (or Hanna). Either way, let’s relive this auspicious beginning to the semester. Your professors began class in off-putting and amusing ways A mysterious antagonist offended one violent feminist in EC  We discovered our beloved bird of prey […]
