Kingston Area Birds June 28, 2025 – July 4, 2025
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 are not too many rare birds to report from the Kingston
Circle this week. A couple of highlights are the continuing Little Blue
Heron and the American White Pelicans as seen below.
Please note the new email address at the bottom of the report that can be
