Eagle populations have recovered enough to become a problem for colony-nesting species. Murres on the North American west coast are one example [0]. Walking, dog, and bicycle restrictions are normal in wildlife refuges that prioritize being a wildlife refuge ahead of recreational use. Humans walking can be interpreted as a potential predation threat. Bicycling has a tall, loping aspect that checks off more of the "predator" boxes than walking. Dogs are always identified as an irrefutable predation threat by wildlife, on or off leash. Drones peering into a bird nursury are likely to get a pretty similar reaction from birds as if it was a human nursury, minus the adults calling police or coming after you themselves. If parents decide there's a problem, they will abandon the nursury. [0] https://www.birdnote.org/listen/shows/eagles-and-murres https://www.birdnote.org/listen/shows/eagles-and-murres
