If a duck sits in water overnight and the pond freezes could the duck's feet freeze in the ice?

Yes. I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. On Friday morning (January 23, 2009) I saw in a pond along the Oregon Pike several ducks that were frozen in the ice. Today (Wednesday, January 28, when I went by the same pond, the ducks, five or six of them were still there, either frozen in the ice and/or covered with snow. Obviously they were dead.
