Kingston Area Birds 14 June 2025 – 20 June 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*: A quiet week overall for Rarities this week, but still some great sightings. The continuing Little Blue Heron is still bringing in birders for a good look at this uncommon visitor. The American White Pelicans that are still being seen on occasion this spring and early summer have also been a nice treat for the birding community. *Parish Notes: * *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.* *Kingston List* REDHEAD – 1 was seen at 125 Nina’s Lane on June 19 GREATER SCAUP – 8 were seen on Wolfe Island on June 18 LESSER SCAUP – 1 was seen at Rotary Park on June 17, 1 on June 18 WHITE-WINGED SCOTER – 1 was seen in Cataraqui Bay on June 17 LONG-TAILED DUCK – 3 were seen at Prince Edward Point NWA (PEC) on June 16 BUFFLEHEAD – 1 was seen at Doug Fluhrer Park on June 17 COMMON GOLDENEYE – 1 was seen on Old Front Road on June 15; 1 was seen in Cataraqui Bay on June 17; 3 were seen at 125 Nina’s Lane on June 19 AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN – 5 were seen at Prince Edward Point NWA (PEC) on June 14, 4 on June 15 BONAPARTE’S GULL – 5 were seen on Highway 33 near Sandhurst (L&A) on June 15 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL – 1 was seen at Prince Edward Point NWA (PEC) on June 15 LEAST BITTERN – 1 was seen at the Moscow Marsh (L&A) on June 14; 1 was seen on the Little Cataraqui Creek tributary on June 16; 1 was seen on Wolfe Island on June 20 LITTLE BLUE HERON – 1 was continuing on the Burbrook Road Trail on June 18 – June 20 RED-HEADED WOODPECKER – 1 was seen on Wolfe Island on June 14; 1 was seen at Lost Bay Lake (L&G) on June 15; 1 was seen on County Road 2 near Waterton (L&G) on June 17 FISH CROW – 1 was seen at Kingston City Park on June 14 BLACKPOLL WARBLER – 1 was seen at 5545 Perth Road Crescent on June 14 PRAIRIE WARBLER – 1 was seen on Fishing Lake Road on June 14, 1 on June 15 ORCHARD ORIOLE – 2 were seen at Lemoine Point CA on June 14, 1 on June 16, 1 on June 18, 1 on June 19 In order to minimise disturbance to wildlife and property in the recording area, Kingston Field Naturalists has adopted the KFN Sensitive Sightings Policy <https://kingstonfieldnaturalists.org/wildlife/kfn-sensitive-sightings-policy/>.
