Bill Eden will be the featured speaker at the Monday, October 27 DFO meeting. Bill will transport you to Borneo, the third-largest island in the world and home of 633 resident birds (50 endemics). It is also one of the few remaining natural habitats for the endangered Bornean Orangutan. Bill traveled to Borneo in 2013. Bill’s photos will feature a sample of the bird species found in the state of Sabah including the Rhinoceros Hornbill (one of eight hornbill species found there), the Black and Red Broadbill, and Stork-billed Kingfisher, as well as the massive caverns housing Edible-nest Swiftlets. Everything seems exotic in Borneo including the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia, called the “corpse” flower. Bill has presented his birding trip photos of Australia and Brazil to DFO in the past. The DFO meeting is in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Ricketson Auditorium. Enter through the west door by 7:30 p.m. We must lock the door a little after that time.
