Wikipedia description:
Athene is a genus of owls, containing nine living species, depending on classification. These birds are small, with brown and white speckles, yellow eyes, and white eyebrows. This genus is found on all continents except for Australia, Antarctica, and Sub-Saharan Africa. An evolutionary radiation of four species (formerly thought to be in the genus Ninox) is also present in the Solomon Islands.
