Original Toronto Star caption: Feeding time? This flock of Canada Geese, part of a growing number in the Metro area that now spend the winter here, wander about as if they're looking for their next meal. Visitors to this area near the Scarborough Bluffs often feed the geese, but the recent cold weather has cut down their handouts as their human friends shunned the icy blasts.
