Kingston Area Birds October 25, 2025 – October 31, 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*: The weather was cooler with some much needed rain this week which may have limited the birding opportunities this week. There were still some great sightings this week, with the Eurasian Wigeon making one last appearance at Invista on the 26th. The White-eyed Vireo that was seen at Prince Edward Point during the latter half of the week was also a nice find. The Evening Grosbeaks and Red Crossbills that were being reported this week could be a good sign for our winter season. It is also interesting to see the increase in the number of Tufted Titmouse reports coming in from different areas in the Kingston Circle this week. *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* Tundra Swan: Three were seen in Bath-Heritage Point (L&A) on October 26.
