Kingston Area Birds 08 June 2024 – 14 June 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: A fairly quiet week for rarities but still a great week for
birding. Let’s see what we can do to find some rarities this week.
*Parish Notes: *I will be taking the July and August off from reporting
unless something very rare shows up. It’s time to take some time to spend
time with my family for the summer and it is a quiet time of the year until
the fall migration begins.
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.
