!!! Snowbirds bring Jack home?

Kathy Reports:
The snowbirds are practicing for their weekend air show it seems. They usually dont’ practice their flying so close to our complex but for the past few hours they have been delighting people and scaring birds of all species. At one point they flew so low on top of our building we were deafened by the sound and if you were outside you could read the letters on their jets - that’s how low they got.
As soon as the rumbling started and I saw birds panicking and flying in all directions outside the windows I went out to check on our guys. Elena was on the ADP sign apparently not in the least intimidated…kids =p And then I went around the back of the building and saw 2 peregrine falcons on the same ledge about a wing span apart. My first thought was wow..Elena flies fast but quickly realized that one of those falcons was alot bigger than the other and both were black and white and not brown! Both heads were swiveling back and forth and both were facing inwards towards the wall. Interestingly there are workmen on the condo next door and normally Angel would at least be kacking to let them know she’s not impressed however no one is even moving from the ledge right now. I watched them for a good 15 minutes and I’m pretty sure one was our resident male unless mom has something she’d like to share with me 
The noise is still ongoing and expected to last until 4:30 pm both today and tomorrow. I just went out to do another check and only Angel is out back now, no sign of Elena or Jack at all. Mom flew around in a circle for me but the planes start coming back and she immediately landed on the ledge again. I will check on them when I leave the office.
At least I know what to do the next time I’m worried Jack is missing, I’ll just call out the army (sorry Mel)!
