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, Riparian, Wetland
This is a trip in collaboration with the Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership. We will bird along the Sand Creek riparian corridor in and around Wetland Park (6102 E. 52nd Ave, Commerce City, CO). This will be an easy walking tour mostly on concrete sidewalks and level ground. We hope to see waterfowl, raptors, and a variety of passerines (including some likely fall migrants). This is an excellent trip for beginning birders and scheduled as a leisurely Saturday morning stroll.
Please be careful coming and going from this location as this is an industrial portion of the city with large trucks moving around on the nearby roads. There is a small parking area (approximately 12 spaces) at this location with some additional parking allowed along E. 52nd Ave just east of the lot. Carpooling will be a great help if it can be arranged.
There is one locked restroom at this location, and we are currently working to confirm that it will be open on that date. However, this may not be the case so plan accordingly. The nearest restrooms are a Walmart that is a 7-minute drive to the north (5990 Dahlia St.) and The Avenues shopping area that is a 7-minute drive to the southeast (8340 E. Northfield Blvd).
Do not hesitate in adding your name to the waitlist. We will attempt to accommodate everyone that has interest in participating within the constraints of the available parking.
