        Now that the weather is turning cooler, breeding birds are migrating to the south, leaving sturdier wintering birds. Shorebirds, like gulls, grebes and other waterfowl, migrate from Canada to wetlands and lakes in North America, while owls, like the Eastern screech and the Great Horned Owl, nest in the winter months. Learn more about shorebirds and owls in these free, walks and hikes in Cleveland Metroparks.
