Welcome to the Ocala National Forest! We hope you enjoy this hummingbird geo-art, brought to you for Finder’s Fest 2017, by the Forest Minions.

 

I’m not the prettiest bird in the world, but I serve a useful purpose.  I clean up by eating dead animals and carrion, thereby preventing the spread of bacteria.  My face is featherless so that bacteria doesn’t build up on me.  Don’t confuse me with my brother, the Black Vulture, who lacks my red face.
