I was thinking similarly last Sunday when I went down to frozen Lake Ontario and saw literally hundreds and hundreds of various kinds of ducks, cormorants, swans and geese, etc. and the lake was frozen solid except for some channels that the thoughtful city folks opened for the birds and there they were swimming away. I wondered about their bum and feet in this icy mess!
I often think, what choice do they have? What does a duck do for recreation when it doesn't fancy a swim?
I think I may write a childrens book, 'The duck that did not want to swim', look out for it in your local bookstore - I don't have much of a pension...

Aw you sillies...what do you think all that down is for!
And have you ever eaten duck meat? The fattiest stuff around!
Lots of protection there!
Ours here in CA say QUICK! Smart things...I would too if I saw that hunting rifle heading my way!
LOL! =)
The duck looks so serene in your shot. Doesn't look at all put out by the weather.
