Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Ducks have to run for their dinner. Three-year-old twins Andrew and Gregory Pankiw gleefully chase some ducks which winter on Grenadier Pond in High Park after helping their parents; Fred and Anna Pankiw; feed the wildfowl yesterday. The birds seemed sufficiently pleased with the handout to put up with the merry chase the young twins gave them. Thousands of ducks-Blacks; Mallards; Greater Scaup and Old Squaws-winter in Metro.
