Baldwin the Eagle Baldwin the Eagle , an anthropomorphized bald eagle , is the mascot of the Boston College Eagles . The nickname " Eagles " goes back to 1920 when Rev . Edward McLaughlin , unhappy at seeing a newspaper cartoon which represented Boston College as a cat after a track victory , wrote to the college newspaper " The Heights " : Live birds - of - prey . The " Eagles " nickname stuck . Soon a pair of golden eagle s from Texas and New Mexico were given to the college as gifts . Sadly , one escaped and the other broke its beak trying . For the next four years , the official " mascot " was a stuffed golden eagle located in the athletic offices . In 1961 , another attempt was made at a live mascot when the college adopted a 10 - month old golden eagle named " Margo " ( so named because the team colors are " mar " oon and " go " ld ) .

Another notable incarnation of the Boston College Eagle is a gilded bronze osprey sculpture that diplomat Larz Anderson and Isabel Weld Perkins , his socialite heiress wife , brought back from Japan in the early 20th century . The eagle remained in Larz Anderson Park until 1954 when it was donated to Boston College and became synonymous with the BC Eagle . It now looks over Linden Lane . Costumed mascot . By this time Margo died in 1966 , eagles had become endangered species and the university then opted to go to a costumed mascot .

Also , the mascot officially got the name " Baldwin " - - a combination of the words " Bald " ( as in bald eagle ) and " win . " There is also a 9 . 5 foot inflatable mascot named " Baldwin , Jr . " which appears at games . Like many modern costumed mascots , Baldwin wears replica team uniforms at events .
