Talk about government waste. The Nova Scotia Government funded a major study last summer to figure out why so many crows were dying on a particular stretch of highway. Two summer students sat by the side of the highway all summer making observations that were inputted to the Government biologists for evaluation. The study (total cost $295,000.00) reveled that over 95% of the crows were in fact killed by trucks. It was observed the crows use a look-out system whereby one crow will sit in a tall tree or fly overhead to watch out for danger. If the look-out sees danger it will call out to warn the others. It seems that the look-out crows were only able to say "Caaaaawwwrrrr"
