ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) â Bird nesting platforms are giving visitors of an Ashwaubenon park to look up.
American Transmission Co. installed five nesting poles at the north end of Ashwaubomay Park, near the confluence of Ashwaubomay Creek and the Fox River.
Each pole contains three nesting platforms, which are installed at different angles to mirror the offset tree branches herons and egrets prefer.
âWeâre thrilled to add these nesting platforms to Ashwaubomay Park to help further increase avian use and wildlife habitat in the Fox Cities area,â said Rex Mehlberg, director of Parks, Recreation & Forestry for the village of Ashwaubenon. âWeâve seen Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets in the area and hope that this will entice them to raise their young here.â
