I think this species is called northern flicker. A pair of them flew rapidly across the path I was on and went into the forest. They jumped from branch to branch making a call. So quick!

i think I know a bird like that too over here in Africa, they jump so fast that you can't get hold of them, you were lucky to have gotten a picture while it didn't notice. Plus can I say I love how the forest over there looks. It's so green

The forest is supposed to be greener but it was a dry summer. Lots of rain recently though. I hope you can capture a photo of the bird one day :)
