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.

Birds Plus+ Geology: Stories in the Rocks. If you think geology is fascinating but too technical, this is the program for you. Boulder’s rocks tell wild stories that include dinosaurs, glaciers, vast swamps, oceans and ancient mountain ranges now vanished into the dust of time. Our birds plus co-leader, retired naturalist Dave Sutherland, will be our geology expert along an easy hike and journey into Boulder’s past. We will have excellent views of the flatirons and encounter an array of bird species including raptors, swallows, maybe white-throated swifts, wrens, flycatchers, and mountainous species like steller's jays and mountain chickadees.
Meet at the NCAR parking lot indicated in the field trip description. The hike distance will be about 2 miles with 300 feet elevation gain. Bring plenty of fluids and snacks as needed. There are NO restrooms at this lot. There is, however, a King Soopers Fuel Center along 93 at the intersection of Table Mesa Drive, or other nearby gas stations and restaurants for multiple needs.
