Kingston Area Birds 11 May 2024 - 17 May 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: Another great week of migration with lots of new birds passing
through. May bird walks and the Spring Round Up should add to the reports
this week.
*Parish Notes: *For now I am continuing to reports the rarities as they
show up on the ebird reports to save time. Please keep the reports and
emails coming in.
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.
