Mallards can be found on  Furman Lake most days of the year. There are several domesticated Mallards that stay throughout the year; however, Furman Lake and Furman Golf Course ponds are frequented by wild Mallards, too. The number of wild birds varies, but there are typically a few representatives on any given day. Pictured at left is a male (top) and female (bottom).
