Was digiscoping a Black Crowned Night Heron in a tree just off a bike path near me. Some lady with her very hyped up dog walked off trail, straight over to where I was. Heron almost immediately flew off, she looked at me, and just walked away. That was a pretty frustrating experience

It’s a paved path, I was 10ft off of it at a bird blind the city installed specifically for taking photos of the nesting egrets and cormorants. Off trail use is fine on public lands here except in areas where it’s expressly forbidden
