Snowbirds flee the Snow to warmer climates usually late fall to early spring.

Seasonal Renters mostly come during high season January February March with occasional December or April added in, for a better rate.

Sunbirds flee the summers Hot sun, escaping to northern states that have cooler weather and lakes you can swim in, without worrying of being eaten.

Renters, those who come to southern states to see if that area will become their new retirement community. Sometimes only doing a lifestyle visit once or many, many times.

Vacationer’s visit with time constraints, usually with baggage in tow (children, or stress) spend bunch of money, go home more exhausted then arrival, with sunburn that makes flight uncomfortable.

I guess I'm a snowflake (although I don't love that word as it also means someone that is easily offended). Oh wait, if I'm offended by the word snowflake that easily, maybe I am one ROFL!

Wouldn't snowbird and sunbird be the same thing or is it a matter of which place is the longer primary residence?

Lastly you forgot Frogs. They stay until they croak.
