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: Grassland, Riparian

Join us for a summer birding outing at DuPont Open Space with local expert Tom Halverstadt. Tom retired from 40 years in the wholesale nursery business and is a life-long grower of Colorado native plants.  With Tom we will explore the lesser-traveled area behind the pond, which is typically inaccessible to the public. With most migrants gone, we’ll focus on nesting species—Tom anticipates we could spot up to 40, including Swallows, Vireos, Kingbirds, Flycatchers, and Woodpeckers.

Expect grassy terrain and faint or undefined trails. July can bring heat and strong sun, so please dress appropriately and come prepared with water, snacks, sunscreen, sun protection, binoculars, a camera, and trekking poles if you use them.

We'll meet at the DuPont Park parking lot at 8020 Main St., Louviers, CO 80131. Please note: the only restroom is at the trailhead.
