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.

Habitats to bird: Grassland, Reservoir, Wetland
This trip will focus on viewing Greater Prairie-Chicken, as well as other early-season prairie birds, raptors, waterfowl and early shorebirds. We will visit Washington, Morgan & Weld counties making a series of stops along the way. The early start will help us get out there while the day is still new, which can offer the best results for the prairie-chickens. If we find them, they will be along the roadside or out in fields and maybe on a lek. This trip is rated strenuous for the long day and distance, but walking will be minimal. Bring a spotting scope if you have one, and the leader will bring his. Bring lunch, snacks and drinks, and dress in layers with gloves and hat recommended. The prairie is often chilly in early spring. We will have bathrooms at a few gas station convenience stores. A habitat pass or fishing license will be handy in case we visit Prewitt Reservoir or another state wildlife area along the way. We will carpool from the meeting spot.
