Loeb (2007) considered this an expected species but was unable to capture or record acoustically. Brazilian free-tailed bats in the eastern U.S. roost primarily in buildings and other artificial structures (Wilkins 1989) and are often found in urban areas in the south. However, these bats are also very high flying bats and often forage over large rivers and agricultural areas (Best and Geluso 2003, Lee and McCracken 2005). Thus, although they may be in the Greensboro area, GUCO may not provide good foraging habitat. Kalcounis-Rupell et al. (2007) recorded Brazilian free-tailed bats on Buffalo Creek but, in very low numbers.; Data Source: Loeb 2007, Bibkey #649732
