Description

Habitat

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,086 meters (0 to 6,844 feet).[1]

Ecology: This species is found in a variety of habitats , ranging from juniper and riparian woodlands to desert regions near open water (Nowak, 1991). One is almost guaranteed to find this species wherever there are rivers , streams , ponds , lakes , etc. In fact, it is more closely associated with water than any other North American species of bat (Barbour and Davis, 1969). When not near water over which to forage , these animals can be found in the thousands roosting in caves, attics, buildings, mines, underneath bridges , and other similar structures. Little is known about the migration of this species. However, it has been recorded in Texas as well as in its normal range during the winter season (Allen, 1994). This bat is a very efficient insectivorous feeder that begins foraging at dusk and usually finishes two hours after sunset (Barbour and Davis, 1969).[2].
