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). Highlights: A slow week for interesting birds, though reports of returning shorebirds along the Ottawa River, including a *Curlew Sandpiper* on 20 June at the Alfred Lagoons, Prescott and Russell, mean birders should keep checking likely shorebird spots. Here are the highlights of the last week: SNOW GOOSE – A lone bird was observed in a flyover flock of Canadas on Massassauga Road (west) on 20 June. *SURF SCOTER* – One seen and photographed near the White-winged Scoters on 24 June is the first June record for this species in Prince Edward County. WHITE-WINGED SCOTER – a small flock of migration-denying birds is still hanging around Prince Edward Point. BLACK SCOTER – one late bird was seen on 16 June off Prince Edward Point. LEAST BITTERN – One bird was photographed at Moscow Marsh *TRICOLORED HERON* – This rarity continued at Perch River WMA in Jefferson County, NY, up to 24 June. RED-HEADED WOODPECKER – One at a traditional nest site near 4667 Florida Road was observed several times over the week, another was seen at Bob’s Lake Campground near Tichborne on 19 June. LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE – Though they can be difficult to find, a recent survey connected to the recovery programme found at least 12 birds in the area of the Napanee Plain. FISH CROW – the downtown Kingston pair were spotted several times this week in the vicinity of Barrie at Earl Streets. TUFTED TITMOUSE – One bird was recorded in Atlas square 18TUQ62 (Verona area). ORCHARD ORIOLE –Continuing birds were observed on 17 June near 16 Drummond St in Barriefield, and at the Landings Golf Course/Lemoine Point CA up to 23 June.

NORTHERN PARULA – One was observed on the Newburgh to Camden East section of the Cataraqui Trail on 20 June.
