I always go into the Xcel sites using https://www.raptorresource.org/ and click on watch birds.  They must have shut the cam off for some reason like High Bridge was.

Where are all the established females going this year??

THAT has been my question all along! 
WHERE are the established falcons at our boxes??
Dead?  Fighting for the box?
High bridge male had to fight for the nest.
