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 10 registrations.
Habitats to bird: Developed, Reservoir, Riparian
This is an ongoing monthly series of pre-work walks in the Waneka/Greenlee area and surrounding hotspots. October may bring some waterfowl, and we will spend time scanning the lakes in the area for ducks, grebes, and more. We will alternate moving on foot between lakes and standing for longer periods of time as we scan. Plan on walking up to 1.5 miles on flat gravel paths. Please bring your binoculars (and a scope if you have one), water, snacks, and appropriate layers. Our meeting location may change slightly to down the street from Waneka Park to provide a shorter walk if we decide to bird Hecla Lake hotspot as well- we can decide as a group, and participants will be notified.
