That’s… not a bird.

Alright, for context, we have a bird feeder in the backyard that gets plenty of visitors, from birds to squirrels to raccoons to the resident woodchuck. Up until recently, though, we hadn’t really had a visitor knock over the bird feeder, let alone multiple times. We were understandably curious as to which critter was responsible… until one night, I wandered up to the window, and spooked a couple of deer.

They came back later, so I got a couple of pictures (nighttime quality, but pictures nonetheless).

Two deer, one with its head down to eat from near the bird feeder and one upright, facing away from the camera.

As a bonus, here’s a picture from when Mom spotted them a couple mornings later! (Better lighting, blurrier movement.)
