Kingston Area Birds June 20, 2026 – June 26, 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: Overall a quiet week in the Kingston Area for rarities, however
the discovery of a Yellow-breasted Char on June 25 by a group of birders on
Fishing Lake Road certainly finished the week off with a bang. The bird
was still present on June 26 in the same area.
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.
