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.

Join us for peak migration at one of Colorado's premier hotspots! The plan for this trip is to walk the perimeter trail from the visitor’s center to the Gazebo Boardwalk. It will be an “out and back” walk on level trail and some boardwalk. Be prepared to walk about four miles. We can expect to see a great variety of locals and migrants: Swainson's Hawk, Bald Eagle, Kestrel, Snowy Egret, Western Wood-Pewee, Western Warbling Vireo, Northern House Wren, Common Yellowthroat, Bullock's Oriole, Northern Yellow Warbler, Eastern Kingbird, perhaps 4 species of swallows: Tree, Barn, Violet-green, and Northern Rough-winged, just to name a few! Restrooms are available at the visitor's center and at the turn around point at the Gazebo Boardwalk. Please remember that a parks pass or payment of daily fee is required for entry. Trip is rated "moderate" for the distance. Please bring all the supplies: binoculars, water, snacks, layers, a hat, bug spray, sunblock. Feel free to bring a scope if you have one.
