However I think that most people do understand the economic benefits and look at us in a positive way.
It's only a few people that complain.

We full time residents are doing just as much clogging of the streets and the restaurants and the activities as the seasonal residents and the vacationers who rent. There are MORE of us now at this time of the year and it causes some issues of waiting, or crowding. I don't think people dislike the birdies at all. They are delightful folks who love this place and their home here exactly like the frogs..... but the heavier traffic and finding parking sometimes is hard on ALL of US. Don't be offended Judith Ann. Someday you will be a frog too. Not long ago we were birdies.
Snowbirds is just a word. Someone said the seasonal residents in the new Fruitland Park area may be called Fruit Flies.
JUST KIDDING.
