Kingston Area Birds October 4, 2025 – October 10, 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*: Another great week in birding, with the warblers and shorebirds still moving through the Kingston area this week. The highlight of the week was the Eurasian Wigeon, first seen by Erwin Batalla on October 5 at the Marshlands/Cataraqui Bay. It continued through the rest of the week and was seen by a number of other birders. *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* Snow x Canada Goose (hybrid): One was seen on Wolfe Island-Reed’s Bay on October 10.
