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.

This trip is limited to the first 6 registrations.
Habitats to bird: Developed, Reservoir, Riparian
This late afternoon trip will focus on waterfowl and late fall/early winter species of migrants and winter inhabitants. There is no hotspot for this stretch, however the nearby hotspot of South Platte E. 74th Ave. area shows alot of variety. We will be exploring a stretch of Clear Creek that is seldom birded, especially this time of year! We will meet at the location listed, and then carpool to a couple of spots along Clear Creek, visiting small reservoirs as well as the Creek itself. Bring water, snack, good shoes as we'll be doing bushwacking over uneven ground to access the riparian area and Creek banks. Binoculars, and a camera if you wish. This is the last bit of Clear Creek Birding Adventure series moving downstream - the field trip series started on a very brisk morning, Dec 1, 2025, with Discovery #1, Lowell Ponds Open Space!
