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.

Habitats to bird: Grassland, Reservoir, Riparian, Wetland
We will meet at the visitor's center parking lot and then drive to one of the parking areas near Lake Mary and Lake Ladora. We hope to see winter sparrows, waterfowl, raptors, and maybe some late migrant passerines. The trails here is relatively flat and wide. The habitat is riparian with large cottonwoods and cattail marsh. Plan on walking 2 to 3 miles. There are pit toilets at the meeting location and at the birding area parking lots. Scopes are helpful here for scanning the lakes and prairie but not necessary. Birders of all experience levels are welcome.
