Every day on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, we share a photo of the day — a superb image from more than 20,000 pictures in our Reader Galleries. The shots we selected in the second half of December 2020 included a portrait of a Red-bellied Woodpecker, images of both crossbill species, and a “posing” Cooper’s Hawk.

Male California Quails, like the one seen here, have black faces outlined by white stripes. Mark Schmitt shared this portrait with us four years ago.
