Too close for comfort!

Kathy Reports:
A helicopter just flew over the nest site building at quite a low altitude - actually thought it was going to land on the rooftop, that’s how low it was flying. Needless to say you never saw so many birds panic so fast in your life - pigeons were dispersing everywhere!
With one exception…our resident falcon Mom! She just kept sitting on her cam dozing as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Dad, on the other hand was a flying machine - scanning the perimeter and making sure the offending intruder had left his territory. Of course he did all this, after the chopper had flown off! My guess is, he was probably dozing on his usual perch and the loud noise woke him up!
Did see Elena early this morning have her breakfast on the ADP sign but all has been quiet until this brief interlude with modernity!
