Kingston Area Birds February 28, 2026 – March 6, 2026 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*: It was nice to see the return of the American Robins and the Red-winged Blackbirds this past week; a sure sign that spring is on the way. The highlights of the week were the Yellow-headed Blackbird, first seen by Mike and Bonnie Brais on February 28 in Days Road in Kingston. A Barrow’s Goldeneye continuing at Ivy Lea also brought a number of birdwatchers to that area 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.* *Kingston List* Wood Duck: One bird was continuing at the Invista Pond on February 28, one on March 1.
