I sølv tre oppvoksende svarte skarver. Argent three cormorants issuant from
the base sable.

Wikipedia article identifies
the birds as shags, being the species of cormorants. The
http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=R%C3%B8st explains the choice
of design from a local legend of three brothers who could transform themselves
into cormorants. [c2j87] does the same,
mentioning the story was recounted by Asbjørnsen and Moe, the famous collectors
of Norwegian folklore. [c2j87] also claims that
the designer made the birds have a "fairytale and surreal touch" ("eventyraktig
og uvirkelig preg")
