Original Toronto Star caption: Dozing in the Sun; a variety of ducks and geese bask in the fresh breezes yesterday on the waterfront steps near the Harbor Police; perhaps dreaming that real spring will come soon; and honking and quacking as though that will hurry it along. They'll have more sunshine tomorrow; and it should get up to 40.
