Kingston Area Birds 4 May 2024 – 10 May 2024

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: Another great week of migration keeps bringing in the new birds.  The weather has been cooperative as well.  With the spring round up next weekend we should have some great reports for the next couple of weeks.

Parish Notes:  I am continuing to report the rarities that come through on the ebird rare bird reports to keep the list to a reasonable size.  Please continue to send in your reports and your emails.

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.
