 In accipitrids, the breeding season ranges from about two to three months to roughly a year and a half, the latter in some of the larger tropical eagles.Species inhabiting temperate ranges as a rule have shorter breeding seasons due to the shorter stretches of warm weather that facilitates ready capture of prey.Usually from 2 to 6 eggs are laid in accipitrids, a relatively small clutch, and some species may lay only one egg.
