They love "nesting" in trees with loose bark. I'll tell on myself here as to why I know.
My Dad, Brother and I went fishing when I was a kid in his little boat. We went to a man made lake that had lots of large dead trees sicking out of the water, we were fishing and I kept hearing this squeaking sound.
Finally found the tree it was coming from and it had a bunch of loose bark. Took my rod and nudge the bark and a big section slid off. It released what seemed like hundreds of bats that were hiding in there and if someone had a camera at the time they's have won $100,000 on America's funniest home videos.
We still laugh about that one!
