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.

This trip is limited to the first 12 registrations.
Habitats to bird: Agricultural
We will visit Washington County & perhaps Logan County. This trip leaves so early because we are in pursuit of the Greater-Prairie Chicken lek as it is breeding time on the prairie. We will observe from the cars as they will flush otherwise. Last year we came across 11 in this area. Never a promise but a hope. We will be on the lookout for migrating Snow Geese, Greater White-fronted Geese, Cackling & Canada Geese in large numbers. Raptors should be seen along the way.
This will be a full day with long drives. Be prepared with food, fluids & binoculars. Layered clothing is best with variable temperatures. We need decent weather for this trip to happen. Scopes are handy to have. Bathrooms at gas stations & perhaps a State Wildlife Area. Parks Pass & fishing license are good to have on hand should we visit Prewitt Reservoir.
We share in gas with the driver.
DFO has a reimbursement policy of .50 divided by the miles & passengers. Anticipate approximately 225 miles or $28, driver discretion. We need 2 volunteer drivers and Diane will be the 3rd.
