Kingston Area Birds 14 September 2024 – 20 September 2024
Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN) maintain records in a 50km radius of
MacDonald Park, Kingston. Birders using eBird are encouraged to share their
sightings with ‘Kingston FN’. Alternatively, please email records directly
to me – contact details below. Please note that some sightings may require
review and remain unconfirmed unless stated otherwise. Species in bold type
require completion of a rare bird report available on the KFN website or
directly from me. If indicated, an OBRC report may be required instead (
http://www.ofo.ca/site/Obrcreport). Some iPhone users report that bold type
may be replaced by asterisks.
Overview: There were a couple of nice sightings to highlight the week,
with the Glossy Ibis being a nice surprise. The Long-billed Dowitcher was
kind enough to stay around for the week as well.
*Parish Notes: *Migration is continuing, with a good movement of
shorebirds and warblers being reported. Keep your eyes open for the birds
leaving the area as well as some early migrants coming in.
Please note the new email address at the bottom of the report that can be
used to submit observations if you are not using eBird.
