Eastern red bats carry no NatureServe state rank in Oklahoma, SNR unranked, though the species’ G3 global rank reflects broader range-wide vulnerability, largely from wind-turbine mortality during migration. The record leans toward GBIF (256 of 337 total records), meaning acoustic and capture surveys, not casual sightings, document most of what’s known about this solitary, foliage-roosting bat here.
June and September are the year’s two peaks, 22 and 21 sightings respectively, bracketing a summer lull; that split pattern likely tracks the maternity-colony season in early summer and fall migratory passage in September, since this species moves south for winter.
