6.8.23 Midlothian Reservoir, Oak Forest, IL

On our way home we stopped at Midlothian Reservoir. This is a popular site for flying model planes. We saw one stuck in a tree! We thought we saw a loon on the water, but turns out it was a cormorant. There were a lot of very pushy geese. They followed us around expecting food.
