Hey, anyone know what that helicopter circling slowly over Petaluma, moving north to south, mid-day today was? Perhaps centered down Lakeville? Didn't recognize it as law enforcement, forgot my glasses so couldn't see if there was a news logo on it, but didn't look familiar.
Perhaps a small camera pod on front?

https://www.flightradar24.com/ is a great utility for "WTF is overhead". One evening a Big Honkin' Something flew over. Then half an hour later, happened again. Used FR24 and discovered the national guard was doing refueling exercises, drawing a giant oval over the area.
