A pair of Bald Eagles just flew by my office window, close enough
that I could see it was a male and a female (from size).

I saw another such pair flying down I-5 a few weeks ago.

I don't think these were birds near a nest site, so it causes me to
speculate that pairs fly around together, perhaps prospecting for a
new nest site. Do they migrate or move longer distances together?

Amazingly, they disappeared several minutes ago, and now a pair just
flew by in the same direction. I presume it must be the same pair
circling around - but talk about deja vu. They are still overhead,
makes me wonder if they're not looking at some tall cottonwood trees
on campus. No, there they go, making a beeline off to the west again
into a strong wind.
