Yes, there are many YouTubes now with the Norfolk eagles!

We've had nesting eagles up North in the summers now for about 5 yrs.
They nest about 3 islands over. One summer a chick fell out of the nest and
the DNR guy climbed back up with it.

We only see the newly fledged young ones flying with their parents to learn
how to catch fish. One year there was a "fight" or altercation right over us
where two eagles engaged their talons and fell...all the while screaming.
We don't know if it were a territory dispute or a "practice" fight.
We often see lone adults with white head fishing in front of our dock. The presence of the eagle seems to upset the gulls and other birds like crows
considerably. There is always one or two following the eagle and making a loud fuss. The Terns are good at this.

BTW... I just checked my sources... and it appears that the little guy is refusing food. He has lost weight too,
and that is a very bad sign.
