Nocturnal birds are naturallycounted rarities, even where they are not. This little owl, by nomeans uncommon, is a very sound sleeper, and makes no signof its existence, though one may be passing beneath its perch.So sunk in oblivion is it, and so heavy-eyed with sleep whenroused, that many specimens may be taken with the hand.Hence the expression, As stupid as an owl.
