It sounds like they were watching you on your way, perhaps even clearing the path for you- what an amazing experience! A magickal morning indeed 
I second what Megan said- I also think it’s possible to have two (or more!) spirit animals or spirit guides in other forms. In the same way that some choose to honor multiple deities, the aspects of each may call out to different parts of our selves or hold different meanings as we pass through various stages of our journeys.
Whether they are spirit guides or otherwise, it sounds like you have connections with many types of wonderful creatures and critters, Korvo!
