Amazon drone flight path?

Does anyone know if the Amazon delivery drones follow a flight path? I've always enjoyed watching the different planes that I can see from my backyard. I could possibly live near or under an approach path for a local airport.
Amazon is expanding their drone delivery market to my area... I saw a few of their delivery drones flying around recently. It was a jarring experience to see a large drone zipping by while I was walking my dog.
My question is, do the Amazon drones have an approved flight path that they follow? If not, should I prepare for these things to be buzzing across the sky while I'm my backyard?

I’d imagine they just take a straight path from point to point

I was afraid of that. Thank you.

Hopefully they'll avoid the 120KV transmission lines that are adjacent to the fulfillment center.

I feel like they'd have the sense to consider that.

Sense as in common sense? Common sense isn't so common nowadays...

Pretty sure the engineers who are on Amazon's drone team would have considered power lines.
Oh, and they would have discovered that in testing anyway.
