Original Toronto Star caption: A rare white muscovy duck; native of North Africa; stands watching cautiously as Albert Sutcliffe feeds the flock of wild ducks that winter in Toronto around Grenadier Pond in High Park. Usually the white Muscovy ducks are found only in domesticated flocks on farms; but three are said to be wintering around Toronto. It will be chilly for them in Metro tomorrow; with temperature near 20.
