I don't see a huge difference between Seasonal Resident and Snowbird except maybe a Seasonal Resident is a term applied to non US citizens by the governments. In Fla (and probably the other southern/southwestern states) it doesn't make any difference where you are from, if you don't stay thru the summer you're a Snowbird or Snowflake.

A Snowbird/Snowflake owns or rents a home in the Fla and pays taxes, insurance, amenities, lawncare, utilities, etc., whether they're in residence or not. They are committed to being a positive member of a community and make lifelong friends there. Same same with a Seasonal Resident.

However, if you want to be known as a Seasonal Resident instead of a Snowbird that's fine by me but I don't see any difference.
