(Bubo capensis mackinderi), is a subspecies of the eagle owl. Mackinder’s eagle owls in central Kenya are generalist predators capable of exploiting an agricultural niche that is devoid of most other predators.
This is a large owl, (the largest of the eagle owls), though intermediate in size among other large Bubo owls. Its total length ranges from 46 to 61 cm (18 to 24 in).

I saw the MacKinder’s on a trip to the trust and was impressed by its sheer bulk and presence, though he was a bit camera shy, so I resorted to Getty images for a stock photo as my core reference.
After blocking in the deep indigo/purple background I began the painstaking process of laying in wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry feathers, one at a time to build the particular, ruffled appearance. The reflections in the eyes were especially successful (IMHO), and I was pleased by the dull, rough texture of the beak.
