Current Employees 2009

Pat

Assistant Manager

Pat's primary responsiblities include managing

Seed, Hardware and Optics

"I was born on a rainy April day, but the birds were

singing..."

Many of you already know Pat for he is the icon of

this store. With 20 years experience, Pat knows this business.

Sharon

Assistant Manager

Sharon is responsible for books, pet food and many

of the small items that we all enjoy.

Native of Tennessee. Lives in Wisconsin Since 1980,

so yes, if you hear a southern accent in a bird call it

could be me.

Marta

Birds save me everyday. They are the quickest door

to the non-human World and birds are willing to keep

our company. They were constant companions

through way too many years at the univeristy while I studied illustration, paper making, bookmaking and environmental communication. Birds tend my heart

while I work in a state of numb behind a computer.

Bird lovers make the best friends and through more

than three years at Wild Birds Unlimited I have found

this true with both employees and customers.

The wood ducks sneaking under the fence, the snipe courting along Wingra Creek, the line of circulating migrating vultures, the kettles of Broad-wing hawks,

the secret water thrushes, and many others are great gifts.

The Timber Wolf Alliance allowed me to speak, the salamanders on Timber Lane taught me to care

amidst sad realities. My greatest dream is to see

the cranes on the Platte River.

Heather

Jim is the store's utility person. He does just

about everything. Sales, fix and repair, product receiving, inventory control and general
