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.

Birds Plus+ Tree Identification. This trip will combine birding along Colorado 103 and the Mt Blue Sky Scenic Byway with a second focus on learning to identify and appreciate the various conifer tree species that occur in our Front Range region forests. **Note: we will not go to Mt Blue Sky on this trip; the road there is closed for repair. We will ascend from about 8,000 feet near Evergreen to about 11,000 feet and learn to identify nine different tree species in the forests as we climb higher in elevation. Special study materials will be provided to participants to enrich this part of our effort. A variety of forest birds may be found, including possible American Three-toed Woodpecker, Pine Grosbeak, Canada Jay, Red Crossbill, Red-naped Sapsucker, Brown Creeper and Townsend's Solitaire. We will carpool from the meeting spot. There are restroom opportunities at intervals. Bring lunch, snacks and drinks, sunscreen, hat and sturdy shoes.
