I guess that would be nocturnal.

You are correct. The word nocturnal has a Latin root in it. Here it is broken down with some other common and medical terms using the same word root.

-noct-, -nox- from L. nox, night and Nox, goddess of night, means "night". [nocturnal, lit. relating to the night, fig. moving about at night, equinox, lit. equal nights, fig. two days of the year when day and night are of equal length, nocturia, lit. night urine condition, noctambulism, lit. night wandering condition]

Owls are nocturnal creatures that hunt and feed after sunset?

Owls are indeed nocturnal birds of prey, primarily active during the night when they hunt for food. Their exceptional night vision and acute hearing enable them to locate and capture prey such as rodents, insects, and small mammals under the cover of darkness. This adaptation allows them to thrive in environments where competition for food is less intense during the nighttime hours. Additionally, their silent flight aids in stealthy approaches to their prey.
