Hey man, I have a very similar setup, only my ridge top is not exactly a ridge as much as it it the top of a canyon. I wasn't sure if the birds landed down in the canyon from which the tree grew or onto the top of the canyon, which was closer for them heighth-wise but required them to fly further. . I figured they fly down into the canyon, so I waited there one moring last year. Well, they didn't come down my way. The next time I got up high and realized that they were landing high, and I got a bird that day.
