Ruth, I was just telling Bonnie about it. I have been watching that spot as a likely area. This afternoon I saw the one, put the binos on it to confirm and looked it over a while. I pulled them down and as I was still looking, noticed the second one with its back to me right next to the hind end of the first. Never noticed it when I first looked and all while I was initially checking out the first one even though it HAD to be in my field of vision. They can be VERY tough to spot. It was something how green the vegetation in the seep was despite the cold too.
