Births of single young occur in May-August. Depending on location, pregnant females have been caught from mid-April to mid-August. Males appear to become sexually active in their first year, at least in

leave roosts in early evening well before dark and generally eat their fill in the first 30 minutes of foraging, but there is a peak in general activity in the first 3—4 hours after sunset. Individuals rest in night roosts in buildings, caves, or mines. They have been most active at temperatures of 12-18°C, but they likely have a wider temperature range for activity. During the day, they roost primarily in trees but also occasionally rock crevices and abandoned buildings; caves are not used during the day. In winter, these bats congregate in caves and mines to hibernate. Calls are steep FM sweeps, with average start frequency of 89 kHz, end frequency of 40 kHz, peak frequency of 46 kHz, and maximum duration of 10 milliseconds in
