A small bird, its average size is 21.5 to 28.5 cm (males) and 22 to 25 cm (females). It weighs between 110 and 285 g (males) and 150 to 265 g (females). It has a round, untufted head, and its eyes are arranged side by side in the same plane. The eyebrows are white and the eyes are yellow. The coloration is earthy, mimetic, and may present rusty plumage tones caused by purple soils (adventitious coloration). Unlike most owls, the male is slightly larger than the female, and females are usually darker than males, especially on the face. It has a smooth, silent flight. It has to turn its neck because its large eyes are arranged side by side in the same plane. This frontal position gives the owl binocular vision (it sees an object with both eyes at the same time). This means the owl can see objects in three dimensions—height, width, and depth. The burrowing owl's eyes are quite large—in some owl subspecies, even larger than its brain—to improve its efficiency in low-light conditions, better capturing and processing available light. In addition to its privileged vision, the burrowing owl has excellent hearing, enabling it to locate its prey using only this sense.

Burrowing owl, Athene cunicularia, is endangered in Canada.

On the eastern plains of Colorado near Denver International Airport (Denver County), an adult burrowing owl stands on one leg at his burrow mound with a curled talon. The owl brought back numerous grasshoppers to his den which stands next to numerous prairie dogs who live near by. The burrowing owl is a state endangered species in Colorado.

A burrowing owl perches gracefully on a piece of dead wood, its large, round eyes scanning the surroundings with quiet vigilance. The weathered wood provides a perfect contrast to the owl's soft, mottled feathers, creating a striking image of stillness and alertness. With its small, compact body and delicate features, the owl blends seamlessly into its environment, embodying both the resilience and adaptability of this remarkable species as it watches over its territory.
