Not bad for a gray and overcast day

After four days in a row of overcast skies, fog and mist I decided to go birding regardless of photo conditions. Came across two bald eagles high up in a dead tree in the middle of Prairie Queen Lake. Before I could get positioned they flew to another tree, this time at the limit of even my longest focal length lens. They stayed in that tree for about ten minutes, then flew out of sight. I hope they return and prove to be regulars at Prairie Queen. I'm wondering if they are the same two I saw flying above Walnut Creek Lake, about five miles away, on December 21st.
