Original Toronto Star caption: First steps: This mallard mother duck has a homing instinct that has brought her back to Dunbarton High School every spring since 1981. School activities ground to a halt last week as the 10 ducklings took their first tentative steps onto a sidewalk; above. The family will be moved to a local marsh in two weeks; so the ducklings do not become tame.
