Kingston Area Birds November 7, 2026 – November 13, 2026
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.

and a Purple Sandpiper were two of the highlights this week. Five Golden
Eagles seen at Prince Edward Point NWA was also a great find. Although not
shown as a rare sighting there were reports of Red-throated Loons in the
