 SP, S, F, W

Furman Lake is home to one resident  Greylag Goose, which can often be seen fraternizing with the domestic ducks. This species is native to Europe and Asia, but is a common domesticated farm-animal world-wide. Furman's resident probably escaped from home or was abandoned at the lake. These birds sometimes hybridize with Canada Geese.
