La Chevêche des terriers (Athene cunicularia) ou Chouette des terriers est une chouette aux longues pattes adaptées à la vie dans les prairies d'Amérique du Nord et du Sud. Elle habite les prairies de la Saskatchewan et de l'Alberta au Canada, où elle est menacée. Cependant, elle abonde dans le néotropique, où on la rencontre même en milieu urbain, typiquement dans les parcs ou aux alentours des villes.
The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, long-legged, primarily terrestrial—though not flightless—species of owl native to the open landscapes of North and South America. They are typically found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open, dry area with low vegetation. They nest and roost in burrows, and, despite their common name, do not often construct these dwellings themselves, rather repurposing disused burrows or tunnels previously excavated and inhabited by other species, such as American badgers (Taxidea taxus), foxes (Vulpes sp.)
