Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Finding the hand that feeds them. Canada geese too lazy to fly south spend the winter in Lake Ontario; just east of Whitby Harbor; and gobble up bread from the hands of anyone who'll feed them. One of their benefactors is 8-year-old Linda Fowler of Whitby; who was down on the shoreline with her father; Guy Fowler. The geese are likely to be uncomfortable for a while: Friday will be colder; and snow's likely Saturday and Sunday.
