Not unlike Tufted Ducks, which I am more familiar with here in the UK

We get mallards around town here (in Canada! lol) a lot. One of the neater things is sometimes those ducks seem to stay over the winter, or at least return very early. I recall seeing them on small creeks - which run quickly = they don't thoroughly freeze over (vs. a pond) - even when there was much ice and snow around, just enjoying the patches of water they can find. Their downy feathers and duck blubber must be good at keeping them warm out there!
