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.

Let's have our own birding Super Bowl: it's Super Duck Sunday! It is Dabbling Ducks vs. Diving Ducks for our game. Each species we find of dabblers or divers adds 7 points to that team's score. But watch out for those ducky Special Teams! Each observation of duck courtship scores 3 points for that species' team, and if we see a pair of ducks copulating - touchdown! Divers are more diverse in winter, but Dabblers are sometimes more frisky. Come join the fun to find out who will win this year! We will have great opportunities to learn about duck ID and find many species. We will walk up to 3 miles, and snowy or icy conditions and cold temperatures may be expected. The only restroom is near the meeting spot. Bring a Game Day snack to share tailgate style at the end.
