Kingston Area Birds November 22, 2025 – November 28, 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 was another nice week in the Kingston Area, which led to
some great birding opportunities. A couple of highlights this week were
the Iceland Gulls seen at Kingston Mills on November 26 and 27 and in Bath
at Heritage Point on November 28.
A Eurasian Wigeon at the Amherstview Sewage Lagoons on November 26 and
the Harlequin Duck seen at Prince Edward Point were two other great
sightings this 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.
A reminder that the owl woods on Amherst Island are closed to the public
through December 7. Please respect the wishes of the property owners.
