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). Regrets for the delay in posting this – your humble correspondent was off in the north chasing birds. The week of 10-16 September featured another good passage of migrants of all types. Highlights: BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER –a rare sighting of this bird in Frontenac County – it was found on Salmon Island (an offshore shoal masquerading as an island) on 12 September with another sighting (possibly the same bird) on the 15th. Another individual was sighted on the 15th at Sandbanks Provincial Park, just to the east of the Kingston Circle. RED-NECKED PHALAROPE – there were two sightings of this scarce migrant: at Amherstview Sewage Lagoons on 10 September and on Salmon Island on the 15th. NEOTROPIC CORMORANT – the bird was last reported on 14 September. FISH CROW – no sightings of the downtown Kingston pair were reported this week. RED-HEADED WOODPECKER – One was sighted near Brewers Mills on 15 September. In order to minimise disturbance to wildlife and property in the recording area, Kingston Field Naturalists has adopted the KFN Sensitive Sightings Policy. Please note that you must be a card-carrying member of Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN), or be accompanied by a member, to access both the Martin Edwards Reserve and Amherstview Sewage Lagoons. Permits are being checked on a regular basis at Amherstview and those without are being evicted. KFN members wishing to enter the Invista property must enter through the west gate and show their membership card to security. Ducks Unlimited is currently reconstructing the berm around the wetland at the Martin Edwards Reserve, so the path to the point is off limits. As always, a big thank you goes to all those who have submitted sightings directly or via eBird. Anthony N.
