Habitat
In Alaska, occurs primarily in montane coniferous forests at 2000-3000 m (Nagorsen and Brigham 2003, NatureServe 2006, Boland 2007). Likely prefers old-growth and riparian habitats. Summer day roosts and maternity colonies found in rock crevices in cliffs, cracks in ground and trees, under tree bark, and in buildings (MacDonald and Cook 2007).
