I was hiding behind bushes waiting for any birds that might come in for foods. The area has wild flowers and fruit trees around. Waited for awhile only saw few Cedar Waxwings came in for the fruits. I had some difficulty getting a good view of the Cedar Waxwings as they were at top of the tall fruit trees. None of them came down for 'photo session'.

I moved on to another nearby area and hoping to get something. Shortly after I moved to the new spot, a Eastern Pheobe came in. I quickly shifted all my focus to the Eastern Pheobe. It just perched for a short while and didn't return again. I managed to capture few photos.

Sometime, it is good to move around for new subject but not always. There isn't any absolute formula on finding them but by studying their behavior can help to increase the chances of finding them.

Let me know if you have a trick or two on getting your subjects.
