Kingston Area Birds 31 May 2025 – 6 June 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: It was another great week in birding this past week with some
great reports coming in. The highlight of the week is the Little Blue
Heron, first found by Alexandra Simmons on June 4 on the Burbrook Road
Trail. The bird has continued in the area throughout the rest of the week.
