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.

It's winter, and that means its time to check out all the ducks hanging out on the Platte! This a great trip for studying ducks a close distance.
For this trip, we'll walk about 2 miles on the paved bikeway that follows the Platte river at a leisurely pace. We may take brief side quests through dirt/mud/snow and possibly up a hill to get some better views (all optional and short). Bring your binoculars, plenty of layers (expect some wind), water and snacks. Scopes can be fun for real close views, but not really necessary.
This trip is filled and you will be placed on the waiting list when you register
