Call for 2013 DFO Grant Applications
Attention all COBIRD members! Through the many very generous donations given by the membership of the Denver Field Ornithologists, the DFO Research, Education, and Conservation Fund has $5000 available for grants in 2013. Grants will be awarded for projects that encourage the study, appreciation, and/or the preservation of birds and their habitats. Members, please share this information with anyone you can think of who might have a worthy project in mind and have them check out the DFO Grants web pages at www.dfobirders.org.
The DFO board has already awarded its first grant of 2013! The board awarded $2000 to Kris Haglund and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science Archives Dept. for the Bailey Film Project. This exciting project will re-create two of Dr. Alfred M. Bailey's most memorable film lectures: the Alaskan Album (1964) and the Hawaiian Album exploring the Hawaiian Archipelago from the "big island" of Hawaii all the way out to Midway (1962). The museum's ever popular film-lecture series, held for many years in Phipps Auditorium, often consisted of Dr. Bailey lecturing to the audience while a 16mm silent film was running in the background. The audio portion of the lecture was recorded live on 1⁄4" audiotape. This project will reunite the film and sound (Bailey's original narration) in a digital format that will give the viewer the experience of sitting in that lecture for the first time.
