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, Scrub
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 birds. We'll bird in the town and in the adjacent DuPont Open Space which includes grassland and scrub areas, planted woodlots, and lots of riparian forest along the Plum Creek corridor. We'll be looking for migrants and posting breeding dispersants, and often this area has a nice variety of birds. Plan for 2-3 miles of walking, including some off paths where we will negotiate slowly past down wood on uneven terrain. We can hope for woodpeckers and nuthatches, flycatchers and warblers, bluebirds and sparrows. Bring water, snacks and sun protection, and dress for the weather (including long pants for grassy open space woods). Restroom at the meeting spot only.
