Abstract
According to recent state records, Woodchucks (Marmota monax) have been spreading slowly westward across Kansas, moving most rapidly along the river systems in the northern half of the state. Here I report on a well-established population of woodchucks within the city limits of Derby (Sedgwick County), Kansas. Data consists of a voucher specimen (skeleton) collected in 2017, photographs (2017) and previous sightings by the author, trappings by city animal control personnel and accounts of other citizens. Three voucher specimens are also known from Sumner and Cowley counties to the south.
