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. If you are having difficulty with multiple logins, please contact us for assistance. *Minors: If participant is a minor, the minor’s parent or legal guardian must print out, review and sign a paper copy of the Agreement and present it to the leader before the trip start. Any minor attending must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.
Logged in users who have a signed Agreement on file will have the opportunity to print or save it at any time. Click on the link to the printable copy and use your browser functions to save or print.

Looking for a fun new way to bird? Then this is your chance! This trip will be a first of its kind trip for DFO! Biking and birding! Participants will bird by bike along the South Platte River. We will meet and begin birding at Overland Park, a small park located in the middle of the Metro Area that tends to pull in a great variety of birds. From there we will ride our bikes along the South Platte River, possibly stopping once or twice at areas determined by the trip leader as we make our way to Centennial Park. From there we will ride back towards Overland Park again stopping as time permits. We will be biking around 16 miles. The majority of the trip will be along bike paths or city bike lanes, but may include some short distances on residential streets. If this trip interests you, but you have logistical questions feel free to reach out to the leader. Along with the usual birding essentials (sunscreen, layers, snacks, binoculars, etc.) participants will need a bike, helmet, bike lock, and a way to carry their supplies (like a backpack). Register online or contact the leader.
Here is a link to see our our approximate route, and this is an article you could check out that talks about the joys of birding by bike
