Silver-haired bats carry a NatureServe S2 imperiled rank in Oklahoma, and the record leans toward GBIF (12 of 17 combined records) over iNaturalist, since this solitary, tree-roosting bat is harder to photograph than to detect through capture or acoustic surveys.
September alone accounts for 6 of the year’s 10 monthly-tallied sightings, 60 percent of the entire total, with October and November each adding 2 more; the record is completely silent outside that fall window, a pattern that fits one of North America’s most migratory bats passing through Oklahoma on its way south.
