Kingston Area Birds July 26, 2025 – August 1, 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 continuing American Pelicans at Kingston Mills have brought
together birdwatchers and non-birdwatchers alike to see these amazing birds
in the Kingston area. With appearances in Prince Edward County as well
let’s hope that maybe these birds will become more commonplace in the years
to come.
*Editor’s Note: *There will be no report for the week of August 2 – August
8 as I will be on vacation that 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.
