New Canon remote control limitations?

I have a EOS 60D and have been bought a Hahnel Combi TF Wireless remote shutter and flash trigger. I also have a new Canon remote control. I wanted to fire the shutter remotely and also the slave flash using these items. Unfortunately I have learned that the Canon remote control I have can only be used to remotely fire the shutter when it is in line of sight of the camera i.e in front of the camera. Therefore removing the ability to stand behind the camera. Is this the case and if so, ignoring the option of returning the Canon remote, what can I do to be able to "hide" behind the camera. I want to set up a bird feeder and capture birds in winter snow in my garden, so to be able to be indoors and fire the camera when appropriate. I have a Canon 70-200 f4 lens so I thought I had it all sorted. Any ideas?
