Lasiurus borealis (Müller, 1776)

Eastern Red Bat

Lasiurus borealis is associated with eastern deciduous forests throughout North America. Caire et al. (1989) reported records of this species in 39 counties located statewide and records based on observation for three additional counties. Subsequent records were reported for Cimarron County ( Dalquest et al. 1990), Caddo and Ellis counties (Roehrs et al. 2008), and Nowata and Rogers counties (Eguren and McBee 2013). New records are reported in central Oklahoma for Canadian, Creek, Garvin, McClain, Pottawatomie, and Stephens counties.
