Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Three precious baby owls were discovered on the Rice campus recently -- and it wasn't even freshman orientation!!! (Ha ha!!)
The Rufous Morphs owls are sometimes called Texas Orange owls, but obviously not at Rice. School photographer Tommy LaVergne captured these shots.
Here they are posing for their inie-band album cover. The short guy on the right is the Kafka-reading bassist.
A solo shot:
And already, one of them is bored with Rice, while the one on the right is dealing with a hangover:
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
