To emphasize the "Night" elements being mentioned hither and thither... there was nothing BUT night at this point in Middle-Earth's history (unless we accept Tolkien's late early-sun theory, which was never fully conceived and really whacks out the Legendarium as we know it). There wasn't even a Moon in the sky.

So there was no chance of encountering these creatures by day...
