This morning on my way out a golf cart driving on BV. She looked to be late 70s or 80’s. I pray she’s not a snowbird driving in from out of state.
Simplest thing in the world.

Check the legs. Tanned arms with legs as white as snow is a sure indication that you're looking at a "bird". Wife and I spent about an hour at Starbucks in LSL outside watching them walk by. About 60-40 tanned legs vs. not.

Doesn't work of course if they're in automobiles but generally in my opinion the drivers who snarl traffic by being too tentative or who seem to be lost or disoriented (saw a guy in an SUV the other day parked with two wheels on one side on the turf, the other two on the pavement, consulting his phone. Texting? Or checking GPS?) are out-of-towners. Most TV'ers, regardless of their driving habits, do seem to know where they're going.
