Moore Lab of Zoology

Celebrate Earth Month at Oxy and join the Moore Lab of Zoology and Vantuna Research Group for a natural history collection open house!

Natural history collections offer a wealth of information. They serve as a place to view and discover nature, explore the histories of the specimens or a collection of species, and inspire scientific questions that are significant to conservation.

Take a self-guided, exploratory tour of the world's largest Mexican bird collection and a fish collection that was founded in the 70s. All ages welcome.

Discover resident and seasonal birds as we take a bird walk around campus grounds. We'll begin our walk at 8:00 a.m. outside of the lab entrance near Sycamore Glen. 

Bring binoculars if you have 'em, and we'll also have plenty to share!
