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: Grassland, Reservoir, Riparian, Wetland
For this trip we'll visit multiple eBird hotspots on the south side of the refuge. Stops may include Lake Mary for winter sparrows, Lake Ladora for ducks and other water birds, and Lower Derby for water birds and raptors. We will not be driving the complete wildlife loop road. We'll carpool from place to place and take short walks at each location. Recent sightings on eBird may be used in deciding where to go. This will be a good introduction to birding at the refuge, if you have never visited before. Birders of all experience levels are welcome. Spotting scopes will be helpful for scanning Lake Ladora and Lower Derby; bring one along if you can, but this isn't a requirement. Several restrooms (pit toilets or porta-potties) are available at the visitor's center parking lot and a couple of other locations.
