How does a fire hose stop a fire?
They are semi-interchangeable terms but: Gaskets usually go between stationary parts that are bolted together. Seals usually go between a moving part and a stationary part.
This has been a problem over centuries. You can try to place a decoy predator in the vicinity - like a plastic owl or hawk or other bird of prey. Removing/destroying any nests in the area. Remove food and water source if possible. Maybe lower the scan area of your sensors to something more ground level - Good Luck!

A seal is usually made of neoprene or rubber. Items such as an O ring seal and a wheel bearing seal would qualify. Gaskets are made of fibre or cork occasionally with granulated silicone or silicone beads. I'll throw another type of seal at you. It's less tham .001 thick. Anerobic cement which is made of silicone is used to seal gasket-less two cycle crank-cases together. The two halves are torqued against the roller main bearings on the crankshaft. Look at a Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket fro a small block Chevrolet. Its fiber material with a raised bead of silicone around the intake ports. Don't become confused. There's nothing such as a camshaft seal.
