nonmigrant
Never travels seasonally
A nonmigrant is a person or animal that does not migrate—one who stays in place rather than moving seasonally or relocating permanently.
The term appears in demographic studies distinguishing settled populations from those who move: The survey compared nonmigrant households with recent arrivals.
For birds and other animals, nonmigrant describes species or individuals that remain year-round in one region.
