DENVER — Employees at Denver International Airport got a pleasant surprise Wednesday when they spotted a bald eagle posing in front of one of the airport’s security cameras.
The eagle perched on a railing directly in front of the camera lens. A plane could be seen in the background of at least one of the images airport officials shared on social media.

"We think he just stopped by for a plane-spotting selfie," officials said on the airport's Twitter account.
CBS Denver reported that others thought the bald eagle made his presence known for Colorado's birthday. Colorado officially became a state 142 years ago on Wednesday.
