Trip Registration

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, Wetland

Birds Plus+ Beavers. In the summer of 2023, beavers took up residence along Coal Creek in Lafayette near 120th Street. In just over a year, they have engineered their riparian environs extensively creating various pockets of habitat for an array of other species. Since this is a Birds+ walk, we’ll primarily focus on how beaver activity along this 1.5 mile stretch of Coal Creek has positively impacted local birds. We’ll also keep an eye out for other resident highlights including black-tailed prairie dogs, raccoons, and coyotes for our mammals; and of course, birds, of which we should see an assortment of grassland birds 'backyard' birds, and raptors

We’ll meet at the north end of Majestic Drive in Lafayette. Put Jasper’s Splash Zone in your preferred mapping app and you’ll get to the right place. You cannot park in Jasper’s lot, but there’s plenty of on-street parking. Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on a relatively flat trail.

15 people have registered for this trip. There is one space left.
