“12° Morning on the Lake: How 90 Swans Thrive in the Frozen Point Pleasant Beach Wilderness”

Swans and other waterfowl have remarkable adaptations that allow them to survive in such cold weather:
1. Dense Feathers and Waterproofing: Swans have a thick layer of feathers that trap air, providing excellent insulation. The outer feathers are coated with oil from their preen gland, making them waterproof and keeping their bodies dry and warm even in freezing temperatures.

2. Counter-Current Heat Exchange: Their legs and feet have a specialized circulatory system called counter-current heat exchange. Warm blood from their body warms the colder blood returning from their feet, minimizing heat loss while allowing them to stand or swim in icy water.

3. Open Water Access: The patch of open water is critical. Swans gather there because moving water resists freezing and provides access to food and a safe resting place. They also use their movements to prevent the water from freezing completely.

4. Energy Conservation: Swans reduce energy expenditure by resting, tucking their heads under their wings to conserve heat, and huddling together for warmth.

These physiological and behavioral adaptations ensure that swans can endure extreme cold conditions. However, open water is vital for their survival, as it provides access to food and prevents them from becoming trapped in ice. Nature is incredible
