Typically at a given site usually only one is caught per night, and individuals are well dispersed, separated by distances of 750-1000m of each other. They use vocalizations to communicate with neighbors. There is at least one recorded account of an apparent territorial dispute involving vocalization and direct contact. Only in one study has this species been seen foraging in groups. In most studies these bats forage no more than 10 km from their diurnal roost, and seem to forage constantly.
Individuals fly in elliptical patterns from their roosting sites while foraging.
Other bats at the same location followed that nightly pattern. This behavior could be the compromise these bats make between suitable diurnal roosting sites, and foraging sites. In the Autumn their behavior becomes less predictable. Foraging behavior does not seem affected by amount of moonlight at night, in contrast to the foraging behavior of other bat species. In addition to the nightly migration to foraging sites, these bats might have a seasonal elevation migration from Ponderosa pine high elevation habitats in June and July to lower elevations in August.
