Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: A couple of ducks have found an ideal place to nest - in a mooring buoy in the basin of National Yacht Club. The enterprising ducks don't even have to leave home for food; as the man of the house demonstrates his skill as a bread winner by reaching into the water and grabbing a floating fish. It's anybody's guess what will happen when a boat owner wants to use the floating home as a moor.
