TABLE 3.9. Number of vertebrate species known to occur or potentially occurring on FLMR based on data in Appendix B. Recently confirmed = species reported since 1995; Total confirmed = includes records prior to 1995; and All categories = includes species of possible, probable, and confirmed occurrence on FLMR. Class Recently confirmed Total confirmed All categories Mammals 40 44 52 Birds 205 218 258 Reptiles 20 30 39 Amphibians 7 11 12 Fishes 20 20 67 Total 292 323 428 protected bird species on FLMR than was reported in Freeman et al. (1997). The federally endangered pallid sturgeon, was documented in the Missouri Kansas River at FLMR in 2003. Two other federally endangered species, Indiana bat and American burying beetle, were not found during this study. No state-listed threatened and endangered species were documented during this study. The white-faced ibis, a state-threatened bird, may make infrequent, brief stops at FLMR during migration. Five Kansas SINCs were documented in 2003. Two SINC mammals, eastern chipmunk and southern flying squirrel, are resident on FLMR. Three SINC neotropical migrant birds breed on the installation: cerulean warbler, yellow-throated warbler, and whip-poor-will. A fourth SINC bird, the red-shouldered hawk, probably breeds on or near FLMR. One additional Kansas SINC bird, the black tern, infrequently may use habitat on the installation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has not designated any habitat on FLMR as critical for any of the species it is charged with protecting. However, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks has designated the mainstem of the Missouri River as critical habitat for the bald eagle and seven fish species: chestnut lamprey, Ichthyomyzon castaneus (Girard); pallid sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus albus (Forbes & Richardson); flathead chub, Platygobio gracilis (Richardson); sicklefin chub, Macrhybopsis meeki (Jordan & Evermann); sturgeon chub, Macrhybopsis gelida (Girard); silverband shiner, Notropis shumardi (Girard); and western silvery minnow, Hybognathus argyritis (Girard). Several state-threatened and state-endangered species not found during this study still may occur on FLMR because there is suitable habitat, including eastern spotted skunk, redbelly snake, and smooth earth snake. All suitable woodland habitats in Leavenworth County are designated as critical habitat for the redbelly snake and the smooth earth snake. Four state-rare animals with no protective status that were documented on FLMR during this study. They were the broad-winged hawk, Cooper’s hawk, great egret, and ovenbird. Of 428 species of vertebrates considered potentially to occur on the installation, 292 species NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY OF FT. LEAVENWORTH II 68
(68%) have been confirmed since 1995. Birds and mammals are among the vertebrates best documented. Reptiles and amphibians are less well known, and fishes are the least studied vertebrate group. NATURAL AREAS INVENTORY OF FT. LEAVENWORTH II 69
