Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN) maintains records in a 50km radius of MacDonald Park, Kingston. Birders using eBird are encouraged to share their sightings with 'Kingston FN'. Alternatively, please email or send records directly to me - contact details below. Please note that some sightings may require review and remain unconfirmed unless stated otherwise. Highlights: With cooling temperatures and a turn to more northerly winds, there were noticeable increases in the number of waterfowl this week, but along with the odd 'late' warbler but nothing exceptional was discovered. Please note that for the next month or so the Amherst and Wolfe Island ferries are running at half-capacity due to mandatory 5-year dry-dock maintenance of the Wolfe Islander III. Be prepared for delays. Here are the highlights of the last week: SNOW GOOSE - 3 birds were noted in with Canada geese at Button Bay, Wolfe Island, on 14th. CACKLING GOOSE - 2 birds were seen at Button bay, Wolfe Island, on 14th. TUNDRA SWAN - birds continued on Wolfe Island this week but have not yet been noted elsewhere.

PECTORAL SANDPIPER - an incredible 60 birds were seen in a single flock on fields off Canoe Lake Road on 17th.
