Kingston Area Birds September 12, 2026 – September 18, 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*: Another quiet week in the Kingston Area, but still some excellent sightings. It looks like the mild weather will continue for the next while, so we may see some birds linger a little longer than usual. *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* Redhead: Two were seen in Cataraqui Bay on September 16.
