We drove up the coast today hoping for a good look at Mt Redoubt. Too cloudy and foggy to see anything.  We stopped at a couple of places to look for birds. Eagle Eye Jim spotted moose on a side road so we whipped a U turn and went back take photos. It was a really gorgeous young bull moose. He obliged us by grazing the road's shoulder for several minutes before trotting into the woods.

At Storm Lake we were looking at Loons when Maggie started playing in a pile of leaves by the trail. WRONG! She had stirred up a nest of European Hornets and they were chewing her up! She was hollering, snapping and jumping around trying to get the hornets off her. Then I began to worry they would go after Jim who was at the end of Maggie's leash so I yelled "RUN JIM RUN." Fortunately Jim didn't get bit. Maggie was covered in hornets, it was awful. All the way home she kept tossing and turning, she couldn't get comfortable because of all the stings and bites. So now she is in a state of total collapse on the sofa, moaning softly from all the stings.  Wish there was something we could do for her.
