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.

Take part in the Colorado Birding Challenge on this trip to Gilpin County. Join one of DFO's teams for the 2025 CFO Birding Challenge! The aim of the challenge is to explore a given county and try to rack up as many species as possible during the course of the day (each county has a 'par' number of species since some counties are more diverse). Some trips may more casually visit a hotspot or two over the course of a few hours, while others may traverse around the county over the course of a half-day or full-day trip. While optional, leaders and participants may solicit donations from friends and family, generally given in the form of a pledged amount per species logged, to "help CFO generate funds needed for its programs and conservation initiatives". Front Range Birding and Optics is sponsoring the challenge, so there could even be prizes in store! Please see CFO's website for more details: https://cobirds.org/cobc/ 

Join us for an exploration of the often under-birded Gilpin County as part of DFO's Gilpin Explorer's Team. We will be exploring different habitats in our search for as many different species as we can find, including montaine forest, riparian, and hopefully some grassland meadows as well. We will carpool in just two vehicles due to limited parking at many stops. Participants should anticipate frequent stops with walking both near the vehicles and on somewhat uneven dirt/gravel trails and terrain for a total daily distance of approximately 3 miles. Restrooms will be available at the meeting location, and at a couple stops during the day.
