A stort is a heavy set low land bird, comprised mainly of meat and feathers, which flys in ever diminishing circles, crying "Wango, Wango". Storts belong to the Nauga family.

That is one technical term that I've not heard before. Maybe it's because I live and work on a small island in Washington State and the dust hasn't made it this far ;-) KennyB -----Original Message----- From: David D.
