Original Toronto Star caption: Ducks and Geese caught in oil; As many as 100 geese and ducks; like the one held by Toronto Humane Society officer Gord Haley; have been coated with oil in the west end of Toronto Harbor. If they are not caught and the oil removed they may die; the Humane Society says. The short-legged ducks are easier to catch than geese; with their longer legs.
