Northern hoary bats carry a NatureServe S3 vulnerable rank in Nebraska that matches the species’ G3 global rank, reflecting continent-wide pressure from wind-turbine collision mortality during migration. The record leans toward GBIF (39 records) over iNaturalist (17), documenting this solitary, foliage-roosting bat mostly through specimen and acoustic survey work.
Records cluster entirely in summer, May through September account for all 42 of the state’s sightings, with July carrying nearly half (21), fitting the window when this species is present for the breeding season before it heads south for winter.
