I'm not going to address the weird comments.

Important stuff. We're part of nature too though... you have just as much right to walk through the woods as any other mammal. If your actions cause an animal to momentarily change its course, so be it. That's life and animals do it to one another constantly. It's no different than a bird in your backyard flying away when you open a door, or the act of driving down a highway. It's constant interaction. The key is not to harass and also understand the consequences of your actions. If they seem too dire, don't do it. Don't interrupt hunting, eating, nesting, or mating at all. Keep your distance. For most human activities this isn't an issue and there's just one interaction, but obviously if you're trying to get a photo of something you could become a nuisance.

If you get too close to something and it runs/flies away, you can follow it but don't get that close again. It isn't hard to read animals when it comes to their comfort zones. Do it right and you can watch something catch prey all day long. If you can't get a shot without repeatedly disturbing something, move on and find something else. Sure it's all very subjective but you'll definitely know when you're being a dick. It's your responsibility to know when to call it. 0-1 interactions is preferable. Bonus points if you can get as close as you need, get the shot you want, and then back off without even disturbing it. You can do this with most animals if you don't get greedy and pay attention to an animal's body language or use a blind. As we all know though, most of the time you'll just be watching something run away long before you can do anything, and many times before you even spot it. If the distance was doable approach again and don't pass that threshold.
