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, Reservoir
Welcome to my patch! City Park is Denver's largest developed urban park, and home to some of the more common birds you'll meet in the city. Want to know who that little black and white guy is who hangs out in your backyard? How about that beautiful speckled bird with the orange-ish underparts you swear you heard tapping on a tree? We'll learn to tell a Canada Goose from a Cackling Goose, some of the finer field markings on our regular wintering ducks, who's making all the racket, who's hiding in the reeds, and what bird made that nest. This trip is great for all levels of birders, and especially folks newer to birding, those wanting to hone their ID skills, and anyone who appreciates the different habitats that City Park offers. We'll walk 1.5-2 miles on mostly paved surface, circling the park's 2 main lakes. Bring binocs, water, a snack, and dress in layers. Feel free to bring a scope if you have one. Porta-potties are available.
