Migratory bird community composition differs between two seasons in central Arizona. Decade-long bird abundance has decreased >50% in some Phoenix riparian areas. Proportion of urban invader species has increased in the riparian bird community. Specialists are associated with dense, tall vegetation, and less impervious surface. Riparian areas with perennial flows attract greatest abundance and species of birds.
