Sarah Rackowski

HI!

I'm Sarah Rackowski, high school junior and resident bird nerd. this project is my first field study and second independent research project, so any help with funding would mean a lot to me!

My past scientific experince includes working at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in both the ornithology department looking at how the behavior of owls affects their feather structure See the report here!. As well as in the ichthyology department investigating a possible new species of corydoras catfish. I am also working with various pigeon-keeping clubs for instruction on how to properly work with rock doves for my research.

The bird on my head is turquoise the "desk budgie". Chances are, if I'm working on this webpage, my buddy turquoise is sitting on my desk (or on me!) giving his input on my work.

Being able to work on this project would be a major step forward in my career as a researcher and scientist.

Thank you for your support!
