Puzzle Description:

Came to mind when solving one of Joe's puzzles.

#1: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 29, 2019 [SPOILER]

Night owl?
#2: Gaynor Sorrell (gesorrell) on Jan 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
Time flies?
#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 29, 2019
Good ones, but not what I'm looking for.
#4: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jan 29, 2019 [SPOILER]
early bird or cuckoo clock?
#5: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 29, 2019
Good guesses. But nope.
#6: KaReN (kbce) on Jan 30, 2019
Earlybird?
#7: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jan 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
That's easy - owlclock!

Dang :/

#8: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 30, 2019
This has to do with a trait often associated with owls.
#9: Tamar (tamar8) on Jan 30, 2019
timewise?
#10: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 30, 2019
Close Tamar. In fact that could be a legitimate answer that hadn't occurred to me, but I had a slightly different word in mind.
#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
Oh, clockwise! (Thanks to Tamar for the help)
#12: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 30, 2019
That's it, Kristen!
#13: Tamar (tamar8) on Jan 30, 2019
Nice!
#14: Dave Kendall (dkthedj8) on Jan 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
Looks like we have a new superhero - Mr. Clockwise! "It's time to give up, criminal. We've got you outsmarted!"
#15: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 30, 2019
Thank you, Tamar.

lol Dave. Mr. Clockwise is watching you!
#16: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 30, 2019 [SPOILER]
If you tally all of these, is that counter clockwise?
#17: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 30, 2019
I think you're right, Brian. :)
#18: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Jan 31, 2019 [SPOILER]
or the owl could be standing on a counter
#19: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 31, 2019
That crossed my mind, briefly, Joanne, but couldn't think of a way to depict a counter. :)
#20: Alison P Deem (Indigo1) on Feb 2, 2019
Clockwise - cool! I was thinking birdwatch :)
#21: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Feb 2, 2019
Thank you, Alison. Birdwatch is also good.
#22: Gaming Bagel (oof.com) on Feb 2, 2019
This was a good puzzle. Not quite sure why, but I found it interesting to solve. Good job!
#23: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Feb 2, 2019
Thank you G Bagel.
#24: Teresa K (fasstar) on Feb 4, 2019
This was a fun puzzle to solve, Norma. And I sure enjoyed the comments. I thought it could be Night Watch. This was the perfect puzzle for Superb Owl Sunday. ⦿‿⦿
#25: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Feb 4, 2019
Thank you, Teresa. I love it when I make a puzzle with one thing in mind and then solvers come up with great alternative descriptions.
