Kingston Area Birds June 6, 2026 - June 12, 2026
Kingston Area Birds June 6, 2026 – June 12, 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: Summer is upon us now and the weather is warming up. The
rarities are still showing up on occasion, but not as often as they were.
The KFN Bioblitz is on this weekend so hopefully there will be some great
sightings from that area this weekend.
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.
