Canada goose : Digital Archive Ontario

Out for an autumn stroll. Canada geese bring traffic to an abrupt halt as they make their way across Lake Shore Blvd. yesterday from Lake Ontario; heading for greener grass on the other side of the street. Some will fly off to sunnier climes for the winter; but many remain year-round in the Metro area where food is readily available. Today's forecast calls for wind with clouds and sunshine along with a stray afternoon shower and highs up to 20C (68F); lows down to 10C (50F) tonight.

Thirty-five babies are enough to keep any foster parent on the move - and this procession of goose and goslings yesterday in Ashbridge's Bay couldn't be accused of lolly-gagging. Toby Styles of the Metro Toronto Zoo says geese; which lay a clutch of 3 to 12 eggs; do communal parenting. An adult may watch over a group for a few hours before turning the task over to another adult. Toward evening; the goslings return to their own parents.

vHonk and we'll honk back. Perhaps the Canada geese were quackers to pull their traffic-stopping act on a rain-soaked Lake Shore Blvd. near Glendale Ave. yesterday - but they got the right-of-way. Finding safety in numbers; they waddled toward greener pastures in the High Park area. Today; they can bask in sunny; 23C temperatures. There's a chance of weekend showers; with highs of 27C.

Mother goose greets spring. We're still waiting for the trees to bloom; but as far as these Canada Geese are concerned; spring has arrived on the Toronto Islands and it's time to start planning for the new brood of youngsters. Father Goose stands guard while Mother Goose sits on eggs in their Hanlon's Point 'apartment' in a tree 15 feet above the ground.

Food fight: Todd Johnson feeds geese on the Whitby waterfront yesterday despite no-feeding signs posted by the town. It's feared birds will become dependent.

Goosey takes a gander. The sun-baked rocks off Rouge Beach Park; Scarborough; can be hard on webbed feet; so this Canada goose takes advantage of a quiet moment to check out how the overheated old soles are standing up to the rough treatment they get.

Goose saved: Murray Bradley kneels in the yard of his Scarborough home with a wild goose and the plastic beer can rings Bradle removed from its neck. Right; how the goose looked while frustrating efforts to capture it and remove the plastic rings hampering its attempts to eat.

Nice weather - for geese. Mother Goose takes her flock for a stroll under less than summery skies near Ashbridges Bay on Metro's waterfront. Today's weather forecast called for a windy and very cool first day of June; with a mix of sun and cloud and a high temperature of only 10 C (50 F); about half the normal temperature for this time of year. While the sun will be back by Friday; local tourism operators are in a sweat over forecasts that this summer may mirror last year's.
