Birds are quite adept at recognizing threats, and ones that are not, after some experience being around them, them being humans. In my case, I am out in the same areas taking photographs and do not have a dog with me.
I often meet people walking their dogs, asking me what I am taking photos of with a big lens etc.
I say; "birds' and they mostly respond that there are no birds that they see, must be why I use a big lens..
I am a dog owner, but I would never walk my dog in a wildlife reserve or wetlands sanctuary. The birds are long gone before you are even aware of them if you have a dog with you.
This Green Heron landed about 12 feet from me, checked me out nervously, then went about his fishing while I sat and watched, and took pics.

Yes, although what we have here are Crows, some people mix the two up, as they are different birds. We do have Ravens in Canada, but not where I am located.
This was taken in my backyard this morning, they seem to like it around here for 'gathering' They can get quite 'vocal' and are v e r y aware of my presence.. the one that 'know' me, stay in the tree, newbies fly off and then come back after a few min.
Very smart birds Crows are, but Ravens I understand are smarter.
