The night bird appears at noon, symbolizing that Rome has a darkness hanging over it.
In this excerpt, we learn of several bad omens that Casca has been witness to. One of the omens he describes is the fact that a night bird appeared in the market-place at noon. Not only is this a strange occurrence, but the fact that the bird appears at noon symbolizes that Rome has a darkness hanging over it.
