(“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.

Growing Birding Skills w/eBird: Walden Ponds [Birds Plus+]
On this outing, you’ll learn how to use eBird bar charts to enhance your birding skills and knowledge at your favorite places, as well as to help you better plan outings to new destinations. Part of your learning toolkit at a patch can be using the resources eBird provides to enrich and help track the experience of birding the patch. All developing birders should have a patch that they become deeply familiar with by going back there again and again, and use it as a foundation to expand their birding skills from. Bar charts can help you better understand the seasonal and habitat variety of a patch, or a destination you are considering for a new visit.
This outing will begin by digging into some bar charts at a local gathering place in Boulder, and then continue in the field as we apply our learning at Walden Ponds. Meeting place will be shared to trip participants, expect it to be near Walden. At Walden, plan to walk an easy 2-3 miles on flat trails. Bring you binoculars, warm layers, snacks, and water.
