Belted Kingfishers are year-round residents at Furman University. They are highly visible on campus, often calling loudly as they fly across Furman Lake. However, the population density is quite low. During spring and summer, only one pair can typically be found around the perimeter of Furman Lake. During the summer of 2008, a second pair was found on the pond at the golf course.
