Attention:

Dear Sturgis Elementary Mr. Wolbert’s 5th graders,

It has come to my attention that you have been reading about my research and (hopefully) as a result have taken a special interest in the Johnny Rooks. If any of you have any questions or ideas for puzzles that we could test the Rooks with, I would love to hear them! Feel free to leave a comment below, or have your teacher email me (be sure to include your first name, please). I will try to reply to everyone, but Internet here is not the best so it may take a while. I can’t wait to hear from you!

  12. Your life is so fascinating! I love the johnny rooks. I always had a thing for the birds of prey. The johnny rooks are one of my favorite raptor birds, after the barn owl. This has been a great experience for me.I am learning so much from your blog. Do you get sad when you set the birds free? -Kasey

  13. I believe it is very provocative learning about the Striated Caracara and I believe that you should test if the Johnny Rooks can be effected by the Darwinian Theory of Evolution.

  15. Hello my name is Carli. I am form Mr. Wolbert's class he told us all about you. Did you always want to be a Biologist? I love learning about the Johnney rooks it is a fun thing to learn about. I love the birds that u are studying. About how close can you get to one of the birds? Hope you have fun just like you are now. I think these birds would be cool to see them up close but I am not up there with you. I think you are really good at your job. I think you chose a great job keep up the good work. Those birds are very smart they can do amazing things like flip over a cup and find the food. But if they already find the food then they don't flip over the other cup or cups. They are also very sneaky when they try to catch little babies. you inspired me with your capability of being a biologist and teaching the birds. What other kinds of animals do you teach and do cool stuff with. How do you get so close to one of those animals I could never do that you are talented. I would be to scared to even hold on to one. But setting traps would be pretty cool too.

    Sincerely,
    Carli S.
