Kingston Area Birds November 15, 2025 - November 21, 2025
Kingston Area Birds November 15, 2025 – November 21, 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.
Please note that all birds reported are considered rare for the area in
which they are observed and may not be considered rare in other areas of
the Kingston Circle.
Overview: It was another great week for Fox Sparrow observations, with
many reports coming in from the Kingston Area this past week. A White=eyed
vireo from Prince Edward Point NWA this past week was also a nice find. It
does appear that this year should be a great year for our Winter Finches,
with sightings of Pine and Evening Grosbeaks, Red Crossbills, Snow Buntings
and Redpolls this past week.
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.
All reports are considered rare for the area in which they are reported and
may not be rare in all sections of the Kingston Circle.
*The Owl Woods on Amherst Island is temporarily closed from November 17 to
December 7 inclusive. Please refrain from entering the area at this time.
