The Bald Eagle is of course obvious but on first glance I thought the darker bird was a crow or raven. Upon closer inspection I came to realize it was a hawk, a dark morph Rough-Legged Hawk. Pretty excited about that as these are not particularly common in Colorado. These raptors winter in much of the lower 48 but actually spend summers nesting in the Arctic.
