@moz @Asbestos @tomjennings @mattblaze Fascinating. I've seen birds that fly off or move to the other side of a tree trunk just when I'm about to focus. Maybe it's not coincidence.
@SteveBellovin @moz @Asbestos @tomjennings At the SEPTA 30th Street station in Philly, there are these black balloon-like objects hanging from the rafters of the trainshed. They have a pattern that makes them look vaguely like an abstract giant eye. Apparently that's enough to make some birds think there's a big predator watching and move on to friendlier real estate. I wonder if the camera has a similar effect.

They might even know it's fake but just to creepy to tolerate!
One of our dogs doesn't like the phone camera. I doubt he knows what it does, more that it's a mystery thing and doesn't smell right and doesn't trust it.
He'll watch videos on the phone though if it's clear animal stuff. But that's common enough.
