Alternate Title
  • It was nice weather for feeding ducks
  • It was nice weather for feeding ducks. Hundreds of seagulls; pigeons; ducks and geese wheel through the air overhead or paddle in the chilly water inside the breakwater along the shore of Lake Ontario; near High Park; as they complete for handouts of soggy bread from the soft-hearted humans who feed them daily. The birds will probably find mealtime a little warmer-and a little soggier-tomorrow; with a forecast of occasional rain and milder temperatures to come. High tomorrow is expected to be 40 degrees.
