MOST owls, then. Like, you think "owl", you don't exactly think "flying around in daylight".

Perhaps by contrast to "early bird"? Also it seems "night-owl" was just a synonym for "owl" since the word is onomatopoeic.

True, but we also say lark for morning person, without saying day-lark.

I think it's the syntax. People are uncomfortable with one word answers. Everyonet teens. They live off them. To parents anyway

Thoughts: a) emphatic pleonasm, cf "safe haven", "stupid oaf". b) such animal pleonasms are popular. "lone wolf", "sly fox" >2

There's one local owl (or four) that hoot during the day around my house. Maybe they're just over-caffeinated.

2> c) Maybe not so redundant. "owl" (w/o "night...") might suggest "wise", "idiosyncratic blinking person", which are different.
