In fall, Silver-haired Bats migrate to southern areas, their movements closely associated with cold fronts. They overwinter mostly in the southern third of North America, returning north in spring.
Where do silver haired bats hibernate?
Silver-haired bats typically hibernate in small tree hollows, beneath sections of tree bark, in buildings, rock crevices, in wood piles, and on cliff faces. Occasionally they will hibernate in the entrances to caves, especially in northern regions of their range.
What is the slowest bat in the world?
Mosquitoes, flies, beetles, termites, and spiders have been found in their feces (or guano). As the slowest flying bat in North America, they tend to stick close to water where insects are plentiful. Silver-haired bats prefer slow moving and quiet water that doesn't interfere with echolocation.
