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.

Please join us as we explore birds at the south end of South Platte Park. We will be looking for Sparrows, Warblers, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers, and Raptors. There is the potential to see cavity nesting birds like Northern Flickers and Wrens. Also, we will look for birds that like to hang around the lakes and river such as Herons, Killdeer, and Kingfishers. The plan is to walk 2 to 3 miles on mostly level trails that are hard packed dirt and gravel. Bring binoculars, water, snacks, sunscreen. Scopes and cameras are welcome. Dress in layers for the weather. A vault toilet restroom will be available at the parking lot. It will be the only available restroom.
