Most owls are nocturnal, meaning that they hunt at night. There are a few which are crepuscular, meaning that they hunt at dusk and twilight; and those which are actively hunting in the daylight. Nocturnal owls are able to hunt at night due to their large eyes, which grant them tremendous fields of vision and allow their brains to better process the darkened landscape.

Most owls are nocturnal. All dark eyed owls will hunt nocturnally but yellow/orange eyed owls are more likely to hunt either during the day or at dawn/dusk. Until recently there was thought to be a direct correlation between eye colour and hunting habit of yellow and orange eyed owls, but it has proved to be more of a generalisation than hard fact.
