Kingston Area Birds 4 November 2023 – 10 November 2023 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*: I guess the time change unofficially marks the change into the winter season. We are still getting some mild days, which means some of our migrants are still lingering. As the winter birds are starting to arrive there is a great opportunity to get out there and report. *Parish Notes:* The fall round-up is continuing this weekend so hopefully we will have some great observations come in. *OWL WOODS-Please note the Owl Woods on Amherst Island will be closed to birders from Monday, November 20-Sunday December 10 inclusive. * *Highlights:* *correction on last report-the domestic goose being reported in Cataraqui Bay should not have been reported as a Graylag Goose SNOW GOOSE –9 birds were found on Wolfe Island on Nov. 6 *CACKLING GOOSE*-1 was seen on Wolfe Island on Nov. 6 TRUMPETER SWAN-3 were seen on Holleford Road on Nov. 4; 17 birds were seen at Bedford Mills on Nov. 4; 1 was seen on Canoe Lake Road on Nov. 4; 6 birds were seen at 104 Hardwood Lane on Nov. 5; 1 was seen at Millburn Creek on Nov. 5; 2 were found on the K&P Trail (Bank St.-Hwy 38) on Nov. 6 with 3 seen in the same location on Nov. 10; 2 were spotted at MacDonald Memorial Park on Nov. 8; 1 was seen in Cataraqui Bay on Nov. 9; 2 were reported from 4399 Ashwood Dr. in Sydenham on Nov. 10 WOOD DUCK-3 were seen at Big Sandy Bay on Nov. 4; 10 were seen in the Treasure Island Marina on Nov. 4; 5 were seen at Little Cataraqui Creek CA on Nov. 5; 3 were found at Millburn Creek on Nov. 5; 2 birds were found at Grass Creek Park on Nov. 6; 3 birds were seen at The Marshlands on Nov. 10 NORTHERN SHOVELLER-20 were seen in Cataraqui Bay on Nov. 4, 15 on Nov. 5; 10 were found at Little Cataraqui Creek CA on Nov. 5; 3 birds were found at Millburn Creek on Nov. 5; 2 were found at 125 Nina’s Lane on Nov. 5, 1 on Nov. 6; 25 birds were seen at Belle Park on Nov. 6, 47 on Nov. 8 and 24 on Nov. 10; 1 was seen at Marshland CA on Nov. 6, 2 on Nov. 10; 15 birds were seen at the Montreal Street Apartments on Nov. 7; 3 birds were seen on the Martin Edwards Reserve, Amherst Island on Nov. 8 GADWALL-There were multiple sightings of Gadwall throughout the Kingston Circle during the week.
