Fort Leavenworth

Sunday, after getting out of bed at what seemed to be the middle of the night, I joined the Kansas City Burroughs Audubon Society for a field trip at 6:30 AM to the military installation in Fort Leavenworth, KS.   After a very thorough security inspection, we were allowed onto the base, which includes many acres of undisturbed woodlands.   Many thanks to Dave Williams for leading the trip.  I added one new species, but it was a good one - Scarlet Tanager.

This Scarlet Tanager was singing at the top of a very tall tree.

Several Tiger Swallowtail butterflies were also observed on the trip.
