Could this be what you are refereing too? -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Boughton, James M. [mailto:JBOUGHTON@IMF.ORG] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 5:45 PM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: [MDOSPREY] RFI "shag poke" Does anyone know what bird in this area is also known as a "shag poke"? On the web, all I could find was a reference to a folk tune by that name, "named after a native bird" (http://www.greenmanreview.com/josephandhis%20fiddle.html). (A Yahoo web search on the term also digs up several porn sites!) A friend thought it might be a heron species, but beyond that I'm in the dark.
