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.

Surprise! We are doing something different this month at South Platte Park. DFO and Denver Audubon are partnering with South Suburban Parks and Rec (SSPR) to see the restricted-access Cooley Lake area in South Platte Park. A naturalist from SSPR will guide our group into this area. In the past two years at this time in November, Common Mergansers have been seen in large numbers using Cooley Lake as a stopover during their migration. The area includes established trails and sage grass fields with no trails. Long pants are advised. Dress for the weather in layers. Meet at Carson Nature Center on the west deck. The walk is 1 to 2 miles round trip. Bring binoculars, water, snack, and sunscreen. Scopes will be very helpful and the leaders will have scopes to share. A bathroom is available at Carson Nature Center at the beginning of the walk. That will be the only rest room. Note that parking can be challenging at the parking lot next to the Nature Center. The RTD Light Rail Parking Lot is one block away if needed.
