22 in this group and a 23rd which stayed below by the pond. When I looked again about 15 minutes later they were in the same position and about 5 were again lying down, the rest grazing. When Carl came down the canyon to the house, they all looked up and one gave the alarm call, then they began grazing again (11:15). The ones lying down didn't stand up and one of them began rolling. I walked out to meet Carl and the group bunched up and moved a little uphill. When he went out at 12:00 to look again about half were lying down.
