Ken, thank you for your detailed response; I appreciate it.  Unless it's a red cardinal, I am not good at identifying the gender of the birds.  With the eagles, I always play it safe saying "the parent."

The eaglet must have just been fed when I was there Saturday.  She was very quiet, but active in the nest.  She wasn't crying for the parents to come feed her.  This is the first time I have been that I didn't see at least one of the parents in the trees, or near the nest, or flying above.  They were no were to be found.

Thanks again!  I appreciate the explanation.  Julie
