I Googled avian pox... and this is a serious disease.
The parents can catch it. It is transmitted via mosquitos, and also bird to bird.
I have noticed the parents keeping a distance now from the chick. But I thought that was a move toward independence. Last I looked the mother eagle was watching the chick from a nearby branch...staring at it actually.
Now there is a terrible storm there, and the cam is down.
Severe storms (in the red zone) for a while now.
I am thinking they will take the chick... to a place to raise it.
I wonder if that happens, if the parents leave? Or will they wait for it?
