ANSTHRLD - conflict checking swans

[Teceangl]

> It's looking like it'll be rising (rousant?).

Rousant is the default position for swans in heraldry.  Naiant is 
an SCA-ism which I try to talk people out of.  :)  That the swan
is rousant is a Very Good Thing for purposes of conflict, BTW.
 
The information you're looking for about birds is in the January 2000
Cover Letter at http://sca.org/heraldry/loar/2000/01/00-01cl.html

I just deleted an attempted summary of the ruling.  It's much better
to read the full text and get the information as it was intended to
be received.

	forget a field tincture here, there isn't any, so sod off".
