Description
The Mackinders Eagle Owl is happy in many types of terrain, but prefers wooded gullies in high country and shady ravines or scrubby slopes with scattered boulders in lower country. It visits more open terrain at night for hunting. They prefer larger prey for efficiency, but this does limit the number of birds in an area. They will take mole rat, hyrax, hare, mongoose, barn owl and kestrels. It is most active around dusk and dawn, when its main prey is active, and spends its days roosting in deep shade. They are generally ground nesting, making a shallow scoop perhaps on a rock, between boulders or in a tangle of roots. Two or rarely three eggs are laid at intervals of up to four days and incubated for 34-36 days.
