Kingston Area Birds November 1, 2025 - November 7, 2025
Kingston Area Birds November 1, 2025 – November 7, 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: It definitely looks like we are in for a great season of winter
birds, with early sightings of Evening and Pine Grosbeaks, as well as Snow
Buntings. With the weather cooling down and snow in the upcoming forecast
it would be a good time to go out and see what you can find.
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.
