Habitat loss, pollution, and climate change have a global impact on bird diversity, particularly in central Mexico, where human disturbances unplanned urbanization can lead to the decline of this faunal group. In study, effects season (rainy, warm–dry, or cool–dry) environmental variables (size, perimeter, vegetation cover, built distance nearby greenspaces closet natural patch) avian diversity at different sites located peri-urban landscape Metropolitan Area Mexico City were determined. The study was conducted using linear transect method assess composition communities from November 2019 March 2022, recording 290 total species. Zumpango Lagoon site with highest (N = 209, H′ 3.22) evenness index (J′ 0.76). Linear mixed models used determine diversity. effect nearest greenspace significantly more positive during rainy than two dry seasons. An ANOSIM test also showed that community associated water bodies differed other (R 0.16, p < 0.001). Despite some anthropogenic activities intrusion, retain high birds. This finding indicates need for immediate conservation efforts protect many resident breeding species wintering migratory birds area.
