Kingston Area Birds September 19, 2026 – September 25, 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*: There were some great sightings this week, including a Red-throated Loon at Prince Edward Point, and an Eared Grebe on Amherst Island. It appears that the warblers are moving through the area based on the reports, so it is a great time to get out and look before they have all passed through until the spring. *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.* *Kingston List* Cackling Goose: Two birds were seen at the Amherstview Sewage Lagoons (L&A) on September 25.
