I've been taking care of a feral/stray cat colony for over 16 months. Around eight cats routinely show up every day/evening. By and large, the cats all get along; the vast majority are males.
I've noticed a new kitten, roughly four months old, but she/he usually comes late and is very skittish so I don't see it often.
I routinely put dry food in a cookie sheet under my car. (By now, all the cats recognize my car, no matter where I park it
).
For the first time ever, when I came out the next morning, some cat had pooped in the sheet. Any idea why? Could it have been the new kitten? The stool looked normal.
Thanks.

Maybe switch it up to using a large ceramic cat bowl or dog dish for a little while until whoever is doing the "deed" gives it up.....
. I know my ferals did not do that, they always keep their shelter clean.
, now, did you inspect the poop and search for seeds 
. Anyway, the poop in my shelter did not have seeds, but this was February - March. I don't know if that would be true 100% of the time, as raccoons eat all sorts of things this time of year too.
