well, at this point I will not be recommending Nureyev or Barishnikov as names.  Or any other name that implies grace....  They are so funny at this "waddlestompfaceplantwalk" stage.
Grace, what a lovely name for a falcon - I really like it ;D

I think they bring it back to the kill site (a spot) where they pluck off heads and whatnot prior to bringing it to the babies.  Then no doubt "others" (bugs/worms/flies) feed off of the rest of the remains.  Isn't nature great!

I scoot by the Radisson twice a day...and there is definitely no carcasses falling from above or screaming people!  ::)

Me three.  I think two females and a male based both on size and behaviour.

Kinderchick, I think if there is still something worth eating they keep a cache of leftovers somewhere.  otherwise, I guess they must just dump carcasses. 

and "ew"  ::)

I will join you on that limb Pchemist,  I was thinking the same thing, 2 girls and a boy. Guess we will find out for sure when they do the banding.

And another bird "bites the dust!" I was wondering, do the parents just drop the "remains of the day" over the ledge, splat, right down on the sidewalk, in front of the Radisson?! I wouldn't want to be walking down Portage Ave. at that moment in time!!!

okay, I'm going to go out on a limb.  I think it's two girls and one boy.  based on relative size, since they all hatched within about 12 hours of each other.

others?

I don't know why, but those bulging crops always make me giggle.
