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 a beautiful gray bird with an extremely long tail.  If you see my flying with my tail spread, you’ll understand why they call me scissor-tailed.  I’m not supposed to be in Florida at all. I tend to stay in the mid-west, like in Texas and Mexico.  But occasionally I have to play tourist and visit the Sunshine State!
