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.

Confluence Open Space is a 60 acre natural area in Aurora that is not open to the public. It is a special place! It is home to nesting Bald Eagles and can only be visited August-November, with permission from the Aurora Open Space Division. There are ponds, wetlands and cottonwood trees to explore. We will walk about 1.5 miles. There are no formal trails so please wear long pants and sturdy shoes. Confluence Open Space is located about ¼ mile east of Coal Creek Arena meeting spot, and we will drive there from the meeting spot once the gate is opened. A portable restroom is available at Coal Creek Arena. Please bring binoculars, water, sunscreen and bug spray. Scopes could be helpful if you have one, and the leader will have one to share. There are few checklists for this location so it will be very nice to have DFO come visit and add to the birding data here! And birders of all levels are welcome!
