Hunters provide valuable service

Crow Hunt 2005 is scheduled for February 11-13. I'm sure that the "Colonel Sanders" of crows, Tom Lennox, would like to thank the

"Crow Queen," Rita Sarnicola, for protesting the event. Her squawks and caws have gotten the attention of hundreds of hunters throughout the country.

The crow is best known for being a reservoir of the deadly West Nile disease and according to wildlifedamagecontrol.com, the West Nile virus was first spotted in this country in a sick crow.
