Why don't a duck's feet or legs freeze in icy water?

I am watching a few ducks swimming in a small ice free patch of water and wonder how they can take it.
If a human or animal went in this water, they’d surely suffer from hypothermia.
I know they have their feathers/down to insulate their body but what about their legs and feet?
It looks like no fat to insulate. Would it be limited or increased circulation?
Using Fluther
