Biology 225: Ornithology Lab

An introduction to the study of birds based on field trips, lab activities, and research.

One three or four hour lab per week. Approximately six times during the semester we will depart at noon rather than 1 pm. One required full-day or overnight field trip.  Applies to the Ecology/Evolution major requirement.
