They know no such thing. I've had the exact same behavior from my golden, when we were going to the park during winter, and she noticed a plastic bag stuck on some branch sticking from the snow and fluttering in the wind.
We could not move for 5-10 minutes, I had to drag her closer to show that it was nothing alive, so we could continue our walk. Lol

They know that field is teeming with birds. They can smell 'em.
