I always feel badly for the littlest one left behind after it's siblings have fledged.

Hope we get some official news soon on how the 2 fledglings are doing.

The chicks have now been named. From the site:

We are proud to announce Alcoa Anglesea's three chicks for 2009: Froona, Barega and Warrun.
 
Thank you to everyone who emailed us with their expert opinions.  The general consensus was that we have one female and two male chicks, with the brothers exhibiting more developed juvenile plumage compared to their big fluffy sister. 
 
It is an honour that our female chick is named Froona.  We had an overwhelming response from members of Bird Cams Around the World to recognise Froona Veldhuis from the Netherlands, a devoted advocate for the Peregrine Falcon, who died unexpectedly in April this year.
 
Our two boys have been named Barega and Warrun.  Both names are from the Aboriginal language meaning 'the wind' and 'the sky' respectively.  It is fitting that these two brothers, indistinguishable from each other without bands, have names from similar origins.  Thank you to Linda (USA) and Ingrid (Netherlands) who suggested these names for our two boys.

Barega and Warrun have flown the coop!  This image was taken last night just minutes before one of the boys took his first flight.  This morning, both the boys were gone leaving Froona home alone.  She doesn't look very happy about it either !

Funny, I submitted a name for Alcoa and my first choice was Barega "aboriginal" then I thought..ahh, someone else probably submitted that name, so I changed it to Aero. Oh well...all good names. Poor Froona all alone in there. Hope the boys are OK.
