As part of your registration, in order to participate in a Denver Field Ornithologists, Inc. (“DFO”) trip or other activities designated by the Board of Directors, each adult participant and the parent of a minor participant (those under 18 yrs. of age) are required to review and sign (either electronically or manually) a DFO Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks & Release and Indemnity Agreement (sometimes “Agreement”) Completing this document involves your acceptance of binding contract terms. This online registration system allows you to review and electronically sign the Agreement if you do not have one on file. If you would prefer to manually sign a printable version of the Agreement, you may access it here, and present it to the leader before trip start. If you choose this option, please contact your leader to assure you are signed up for the trip.
Please note: Each person, including each family member choosing to sign the Agreement electronically must login and have a separate account so that the agreement is tied to the individual.

Directions
Meet at Mount Falcon Park EAST trailhead, just south of the town of Morrison.
This trip is limited to the first 6 registrations.
Denver Christmas Bird Count at Upper Bear Creek (UBC) Area 16.
Meet at the Mt Falcon East Trailhead parking lot (pit toilet available). We will hike the 3.5 mile Turkey Trot - Castle Trail loop. This trail is fairly strenuous uphill/downhill. Depending on the weather, this could be a beautiful hike with some snow/ice on the north side of the hill, or it could be a snowshoe hike all the way! The north side is almost always icy this time of year, so plan to bring hiking poles and/or traction. Trip leader will be in touch closer to the date about what to expect based on weather. We'll also plan to bird a few neighborhoods and Morrison Park, where dippers winter. We can expect to see scrub jays, Townsend's solitaires, American dippers, both black-capped and mountain chickadees, and possibly a canyon wren.
Please bring your picnic lunch, water, and any snacks. Dress in warm layers, bring any hiking equipment you'll want including hiking poles, yak trax, etc. Binoculars are great, scopes are not needed. Register online or contact the leader.
