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

Late August and early September is a great time to see late summer species at Washington Park! The two WP pollinator gardens will be blooming and beautiful. These gardens have only been developed in the last few years, and they are attracting new species, including hummers, that were not often seen before.   Check this link https://www.fanswashingtonpark.org/pollinator-corridor for details about the pollinator corridor project, Wash Park bit, and, for likely species, see the eBird bar chart https://ebird.org/barchart?r=L343087 We will look for birds, bees, flowers - and resident mammals! This will be a breakfast time stroll with frequent stops to observe habitat between Grasmere Lake and Smith Lake. Bring binoculars, hat, camera if you wish, and a Colorado bird field guide if you have one. Bring a snack, water, and coffee or tea if you are inclined. There are park toilets. It might be buggy - the birds are hopeful! This is very easy walking, however we will be in grass and not always on paved paths.

Wash Park is my neighborhood park, so i may be prejudice, but the pollinator gardens, planned, planted and tended by two different gardeners, are some of the nicest, largest, and most diverse in the city!
