    This made me curious, and apparently male eagles play a large part in caring for the young! They’re the primary hunters for the first 4 weeks(with the mom becoming the primary later on), primary nest guardians, and develop a brood patch alongside their mate, though males patches are smaller and still more feathery.

    Sounds like that little chick was in good wings.
