Aves Specta
A ruby-crowned kinglet directed toward the photographer with its bill pointed downward, exposing a narrow oval of red-orange feathers on its gray-green crown. Circularly cropped photo by Cephas via Wikimedia Commons CC BY-4.0.

Aves specta means “Watch birds!”

It is my emphatic recommendation, not a demand.

I registered this domain with a particular aim. Many feathers have scattered since.
See how they drift so gently, suspended in such light air.
