Saw a pair of ring-necked ducks today. Mildly chuffed, as like redhead ducks they’re one of those common species that are spotty and uncommon locally. I don’t see many. Dig that crazy neck ring!
Pretty neat, huh? Where else will you see a neck ring like that?
19th century biologists who identify and name animals based off of dead, taxidermy specimens they’re holding in their hands just piss me off 
. Can you see it now?
Now?
That’s the closest I’ve come, I think. It annoys me that I was pleased to have seen even that much. They could have named them Ring-billed Ducks, but noooooooo. Stupid, dead taxonomists.
