Canada Geese are found on Furman Lake sporadically throughout much of the year, sometimes seeking refuge on other bodies of water on campus. Their numbers increase dramatically during the summer months and again during the winter months. The flux in numbers is due to the intermingling of two distinct populations that reside in South Carolina: migratory birds and permanent residents.
