🦉Burrowing Owl
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.
