migrators
They relocate seasonally
Migrators are people, animals, or things that migrate—moving from one place to another, typically following seasonal patterns or seeking better conditions.
The term applies broadly: bird migrators follow flyways, human migrators relocate for work or safety, and data migrators move information between systems.
The migrators arrived with the first warm weather.
Migrant and migratory are more common in most contexts.
