Dave and Kathy King
have been volunteering with World Bird Sanctuary since the year 2000.

In 1999 World Bird
Sanctuary Executive Director Walter Crawford and I led a chartered bus tour up
and down the Mississippi River to view wintering Bald Eagles. This was where we first met Dave and
Kathy King who had signed up for the tour.

That day traveling up
and down the Mississippi proved to be a great day for viewing Bald Eagles, ice,
and waterfowl. But the best part
of the day was meeting Dave and Kathy, who became volunteers the next year and
have been helping us ever since.

These two long-time
volunteers are fun loving and are always ready
to help at any World Bird Sanctuary event, including preparing meals for staff,
interns and volunteers for many of our special events. For many years they have run our food
concession stand for Birds in Concert every Thursday evening in August, as well
as the food concession for our Annual Open House event in October.
During many WBS special events you're sure to find Kathy serving up food for the hungry crowd
Dave fires up the
grill and cooks the meat while Kathy serves up a variety of delicious and eye
appealing accompaniments to Dave’s main course.
Be sure to stop by the
food concession stand and meet Dave and Kathy when you attend Open House or
Birds in Concert. Dave is sure to
put a smile on your face with his easy-going friendly manner and wry quips.
