I saw these two a week ago in Northern Colorado (Redfeather Lakes). My amateur eye (aided by Google) thinks either immature Golden Eagle or immature Bald eagle but I don't know how to distinguish between those choices.

Also saw an Osprey and a turkey vulture around the same lake, which is cool.

Appreciate any help.

Bald eagle --- Bill is too large for Golden Eagle, and juvenile Goldens also have white at the base of the tail.
