Kingston Area Birds 21 September 2024 – 27 September 2024
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: Throughout the course of the week we saw some signs of the
season. With Dark-eyed Junco’s and White-crowned and White-throated
Sparrows showing up. There were still some shorebirds and warblers passing
through the area.
