Seasonal Florida transplants
Snowbirds are people who migrate seasonally to warmer climates, especially retirees who spend winters in Florida, Arizona, or other Sun Belt destinations: The snowbirds start arriving in October.
The term captures the bird-like pattern of seasonal movement.
Snowbird also refers to the snow bunting, a white Arctic bird that appears in northern states during winter.
