Not long after this picture they got an eagle chick at the sanctuary and they let Murphy raise it!
Oh…
I knew it was a rock the whole time
He’s fostering another chick this year!
That’s great to hear!
Eventually they gave him a chick to raise!!!
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.
He’s been fostering another chick since May or June!
Now that’s freedom.

Murphy is a bit special
