Kingston Area Birds November 8, 2025 = November 14, 2025
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: This week was a continuation of last week with a number of our
winter birds showing up in the Kingston Area. With a few sightings of
Evening Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills and even a Pine Grosbeak at Prince Edward
Point NWA there is the promise of a great winter for birds. The highlight
of the week would have to be the sudden influx of Fox Sparrows in the
Kingston Area this week, with sightings being reported from a number of
different locations.
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.
