Silver-haired bats carry a NatureServe S3 vulnerable rank in Nebraska, and every one of the state’s 33 records appears in GBIF, with only 9 also logged on iNaturalist, meaning specimen and survey data dominate what’s documented about this solitary, tree-roosting bat.
September alone accounts for 11 of the year’s monthly-tallied sightings, exactly a third of the total, consistent with one of North America’s most migratory bats passing through western Nebraska’s buttes and river valleys on its way south for the winter.
