I live in a suburban area, with a small yard hedged with cedar. Behind us is fields, but we dont get too many different species visit. Mostly grackles, robins, finches and mourning doves. My yard contains a pond with waterfall, bird bath, lots of flowers and some currant bushes, and there is some wild raspberries that creep through the hedge from the field. Many times a fair amount of cedar waxwings land in the maple tree in my neighbours yard, but they dont enter either yard. They flutter from branch to branch, seeming to want to come down, but never do. What could I do to entice them to visit? They dont go near the berries, and I dont imagine they would be interested in the seed in the feeders. I sit under the gazebo with my camera, hoping they will come closer, but in a couple of years of them spending sometimes an hour in the tree, none come to the yard. Any tips?
