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
Join me for a Backyard Bird Count Weekend outing in my local park (backyard). James A. Bible Park is a southeast Denver urban park with a perennial stream (Goldsmith Gulch) passing through it. The High Line Canal defines the west, south, and east side of the park (north side is E. Yale Ave.). A small riparian corridor bisects the park south to north along Goldsmith Gulch and large cottonwoods can be found along the High Line Canal greenbelt. Birds found at this location include common urban species (American Robin, European Starling, Northern Flicker, Blue Jay, Black-capped Chickadee, House Sparrow, Song Sparrow, House Finch, Spotted Towhee, White-breasted Nuthatch, etc.) plus occasional migrants (Yellow-rumped Warbler and Orange-crowned Warbler), and summertime nesters (Yellow Warbler, House Wren, Lazuli Bunting, Swainson's Hawk, and Yellow-breasted Chat). The weather is supposed to be good, so let's get out, work on some bird identification skills, and start a 2025 bird list if you haven't already.
