Denver Field Ornithologists is an all-volunteer organization that conducts dozens of free field trips each year and welcomes participation and membership by all. Founded as the Colorado Bird Club in 1935, DFO promotes enjoyment of nature and the outdoors, and the preservation of birds and their habitats in greater Denver and beyond. In addition to field trips, evening programs and birding workshops, DFO conducts community science by supporting the annual Christmas bird count and monitoring hawk migration on Dinosaur Ridge each spring. DFO also awards grants to individuals and organizations conducting bird-related research, education and conservation projects in Colorado. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, DFO publishes a popular quarterly journal and maintains a website and social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram) that extend our fellowship nationally and worldwide.
