Kingston Area Birds September 5, 2026 \u2013 September 11, 2026
<\/strong>
Kingston Field Naturalists (KFN) maintain records in a 50km radius of
MacDonald Park, Kingston. Birders using eBird are encouraged to share their
sightings with \u2018Kingston FN\u2019. Alternatively, please email records directly
to me \u2013 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 (

may be replaced by asterisks.
