Tucked within a liberal arts college in Northeast L.A. and as featured in Los Angeles Times, the Moore Lab is a hidden gem that houses over 65,000 vintage bird and mammal specimens.
Discover local birds, morphological adaptations, rare extinct birds, a painstakingly-collected hummingbird collection, wild parrots of Los Angeles, and see museum specimens that represent Mexico’s bird diversity prior to major habitat change.

The seasonal migrant birds have arrived and resident ones are abundant! Before you start your day, or before class, take a guided bird walk around campus grounds with the Moore Lab staff. Meet us in front of the Moore Lab entrance (near Sycamore Glen) at 8:00 AM, where we'll begin our walk.
Let us know you'll be there! RSVP to Jenny Wong, jwong3@oxy.edu. Bring binoculars if you have them, and we will also have some to share.
We're having a book sale! Hundreds of gently used and vintage books (most ex libris) as well as lovely and strange old reprints will be on sale for $1 and $2, and we'll have some special edition bird prints for $5 and $10 (small & large). Coffee and doughnuts will be served for maximum book browsing coziness. Donations will go towards undergraduate research and their professional development.
A glimpse of some available books:
Tucked within a small liberal arts college in Northeast Los Angeles, the Moore Lab is a hidden gem that houses over 65,000 vintage bird and mammal specimens. Founded by Robert T. Moore, the specimens were kept in his Pasadena home before it became Occidental College’s Moore Laboratory of Zoology in 1951. With the help from an Angeleno collector and a team of researchers in Mexico, our museum specimens largely represent Mexican birds from over 300 sites across the country.
