Is there any significance to seeing an owl out during the day?

Author: I know these guys are nocturnal, and when I saw the owl outside during the day it stuck me and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this owl I saw the other day.
Anyone know of anything it could mean? Thanks!

not to my knowledge, sometimes they get hungry and go for a “midnight” snack.
omg, that is one of the worst omens known to man, oops i shouldn’t say any more
Sometimes if an owl didn’t get enough to eat, or there is not enough food in the area, the owl will come out during the day to feed.
no, there is no significance, and i am in doubt, that there is any with relation to superstitions either. however, some probable reason why the owl was awake during the day could be:
insomnia
got awaken
or just preferences.
owls are known to be awake during the day too, likewise, humans can be nocturnal too. nothing special to it.

Have a look at the this website. Quite a few on there. A lot are quite conflicting though so good luck figuring this one out.
My favorite is that it is a family member or friend that has past using the owl to watch over you.
