Info from Licensor: "My ring flood camera alerted me on my phone there was motion in my driveway. I recently moved to a very wooded area and have had issues growing any flowers due to wildlife eating them completely. I clicked on my ring to see what the motion was and saw 3 deer eating weeds at first. After watching the video a large female then moved on to my hydrangea bush to start feasting upon that. They had previously eaten all the flowers and leaves leaving it almost completely barren. The hydrangea had just grown back it's leaves but no flowers yet. When I saw the deer eating my hydrangea I spoke through the flood camera saying "no eating the hydrangea". This isn't the first time I had done this either. Typically the deer just run off into the trees, however this time one of the deer tried to jump the railing going up my sidewalk but landed on it knocking it completely loose. As soon as I saw this reaction I can be heard using an expletive since that wasn't what I was expecting to happen."
