I had not noticed this shield before that is above the window on the north side to the left of the original entrance to the Cohen House. I researched but could not find much mention of it; I am sure it is overshadowed by the other carvings on the Cohen House, though it is depicted in the Morehead book. I find this shield to be unusual because the perspective of the owls appears to different from other versions of the shield and Academic Seal. These appear to be almost completely in a frontal pose with their right wings visible. The top right one seems to definitely have a division where the right wing is portrayed; the others may just be depicted as fatter than the usual versions. There is another shield on South Hall, now Will Rice College, that may be similar to these owls but it is very high up and hard for me to tell. I may have to bring some binoculars.
