1 In the scientific name of the Burrowing Owl âAthene cuniculariaâ, the word Athene refers to the Greek goddess of wisdom and knowledge, whose favorite bird was an owl. 2  The Latin term âcuniculariaâ, means a âminerâ or âburrowerâ. 3  Hence, the complete scientific name translates to âwise burrowerâ.
Threats to Burrowing Owls. The greatest threat to burrowing owls is habitat destruction and degradation caused primarily by land development. Despite their protected status, burrowing owls and their burrows are routinely destroyed during the development process. Burrowing owls are also threatened by agricultural development, the use of pesticides and efforts to eradicate prairie dogs, which live side by side with burrowing owls.
