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.

Habitats to bird: Developed, Riparian
Birds Plus+ Scientific Collection Tour with Collection Manager Emily Braker. Here is a special opportunity to do some birding early along Boulder Creek and then visit the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History at Boulder that includes approximately 14,000 preserved birds, eggs, and nests, and specimens of all sorts of other animals. Co-leader Emily Braker stewards the research archive of zoological specimens. Museum collections are critical for deepening our knowledge about biodiversity, and often the research produced from specimen collections feeds back into species and habitat conservation and management. https://www.colorado.edu/cumuseum/research-collections/vertebrates This will be a special behind-the-scenes opportunity to look up close and personal at bird specimens -- to appreciate the amazing creatures and learn new things having the birds in hand. Plan for a couple hours of birding along Boulder Creek or elsewhere nearby, and then we will move to the museum and spend two or more hours there. A parking fee may be required for some parking areas. A carpool location for those from the Denver area will be proposed before the trip.
