Kingston Area Birds February 14, 2026 – February 20, 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*: Some great sightings were reported, with a Pine Grosbeak and some Red Crossbills sneaking into the Kingston circle this week. As some of the water is opening up in areas perhaps we will start to see some more waterfowl move into the area, so keep your eyes open. *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* Northern Pintail: One bird was seen at the Invista Pond on February 14, two on February 18.
