This study is a descriptive analysis of the avian communities in riparian vegetation throughout an entire year. It was designed to suggest possible alternatives for consideration in the management of the quality of riparian habitat. The project included an investigation of optimum width range of vegetation belts and how the vegetation structure relates to the bird community. The importance of the size and structure of the riparian habitat to woodland dependent bird species of the Cross Timbers region of Oklahoma was emphasized.Wildlife Ecolog
