🦉Burrowing Owl
Athene cunicularia, Strigidae familyasından bir kuş türüdür. Küçük, uzun bacaklı bu baykuş türü Kuzey ve Güney Amerika'da yaşar. Çayır köpeklerinin kazdığı yerdeki oyuklarda yuvalanırlar. Baykuşların çoğunun aksine gündeüzleri de aktiftirler ama gün ortası sıcağından kaçınırlar. Diğer baykuş türlerinin çoğu gibi günbatımı ve gündoğumunda gece görüşleri ve işitme özelliklerini kendi yararlarına kullanabildikleri alacakaranlıkta avlanırlar. Ormanlık alanlar yerine açık alanlarda yaşadıklarından avlanırken uçmanın yanı sıra hızla koşabilmelerine olanak sağlayan uzun bacaklar geliştirmişlerdir.
