Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The project packages its joke as a mock administrative process: an executive naming ledger, a formal petition, and a public filing roll. The proposed name applies to Branta canadensis, described here as a black-headed, white-chinstrapped bird whose honk carries across a neighboring province. The visible counter shows 99 of 100,000 signatures, while the form accepts an optional city and a 280-character note.
