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). The past week featured the passage of good numbers of the expected migrants. Birders who explored rocky shoals in the inshore waters of Lake Ontario were rewarded with Baird’s, White-rumped and Pectoral Sandpipers, Short-billed Dowitcher and Ruddy Turnstones in addition to the usual peeps. Aside from the long-staying Neotropic Cormorant and Fish Crows there have been no reports of rare birds within the circle. Highlights: BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER –one was seen at Sandy Pond Outlet, Oswego County, NY on 6 September. *NEOTROPIC CORMORANT* – this rarity continues to be seen daily in Cataraqui Bay. FISH CROW – sightings of the downtown Kingston pair continued throughout this week. RED-HEADED WOODPECKER – One was spotted on Wolfe Island on 9 September. In order to minimise disturbance to wildlife and property in the recording area, Kingston Field Naturalists has adopted the KFN Sensitive Sightings Policy <https://kingstonfieldnaturalists.org/wildlife/kfn-sensitive-sightings-policy/>. Please note that you must be a card-carrying member of Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN), or be accompanied by a member, to access both the Martin Edwards Reserve and Amherstview Sewage Lagoons. Permits are being checked on a regular basis at Amherstview and those without are being evicted. KFN members wishing to enter the Invista property must enter through the west gate and show their membership card to security. Ducks Unlimited is currently reconstructing the berm around the wetland at the Martin Edwards Reserve, so the path to the point is off limits. As always, a big thank you goes to all those who have submitted sightings directly or via eBird. Anthony N. Anthony Kaduck Kingston, Ontario Email: kaduckintransit « at » googlemail.com
