Kingston Area Birds October 10, 2026 - October 16, 2026
Kingston Area Birds October 10, 2026 – October 16, 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: The weather is starting to cook down, and based on Cornell
University’s migration radar the birds are on the move, so make sure you
are out enjoying the crisp, fall air and finding those birds.
The Amherstview Sewage Lagoons will reopen to KFN Members only access
beginning on Monday October 19, 2026. All members should have received an
email yesterday with instructions on how to access this 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.
