Trip Registration



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, Grassland, Riparian

Founded in 1908 as the company town for a DuPont dynamite factory (closed in 1980s), Louviers ("Loo-VEERS") today is a leafy haven of quiet streets and numerous songbirds, woodpeckers, flycatchers, and other species, both migrants and summer residents. Bluebirds nest in a row of bird boxes during the breeding season. Birds visit feeders and yards of bird-loving residents and inhabit lush woods and meadows in DuPont Open Space along Plum Creek. Wood Ducks also breed in woods around off-limits pond refuge (fenced but viewable). We will walk for 3 to 4 miles on paths that are either hard surfaces or hard packed dirt. There are a couple of moderate hills, and the path can be uneven in the woods. Bring water, snacks and sun protection, and dress for the weather (including long pants for grassy open space woods). There is a bathroom in the parking lot where we meet.

Meet at DuPont Park in Louviers, CO. Directions: Take Santa Fe Drive (US 85) south to C-470 -- or C-470 to Santa Fe/85 exit. Continue south 6.5 miles on Santa Fe / US 85 to Louviers exit ("Louviers" sign on right just past semi-trailer yards). Turn right onto West Louviers Avenue, which becomes Main. Continue 1.5 miles on Main, crossing 2 RR tracks and winding down across Louviers bridge over Plum Creek into town. Stay left past grassy triangle. Where road ahead begins to climb right, turn left at DuPont Park sign and drive along wooden fence to parking lot.
