They have a tendency to hang out near my song bird feeder in hopes of grabbing a quick meal(usually a dove).

Marsh Owl, Asio capensis, some previously posted elsewhere, I think. From Zibulo Hides, Mpumalanga.

I see we're on a owl run, so I'll add a spotted eagle-owl (Bubo africanus)

And an African wood owl (Strix woodfordii) that sends me to sleep in Nairobi.
