Editing Seasonal human migration (section)

== Seasonal non-agricultural migration ==
Other activities besides agriculture depend on weather. Thus [[circuses]] in the United States formerly spent the winter in warm climates and worked their way north in spring and south in autumn. Boomer linemen similarly served the telephone industry, repairing winter storm damage.<ref>{{cite web|title=The "Boomer" Lineman {{!}} The Song of the Open Wire|url=https://the-electric-orphanage.com/wp-the-boomer-lineman-2/|access-date=2020-12-11|language=en-US}}</ref> [[File:Vice Regal Lodge (Rashtrapati Niwas) Shimla.jpg|thumb|The Vice-regal Lodge (Rashtrapati Niwas), Simla]]
Some researchers suggest that [[Snowbird (person)|snowbirds]], [[Canadians|Canadian]] and US citizens who move to warmer climates during the winter, exhibit patterns of seasonal migration. Although they are moving for non-agricultural reasons, they move with the seasons. For example, many residents of [[Ontario]], Canada move to [[Florida]], US during the winter. The practice actually dates back to colonial times, when [[Boston]]ians of means would often go (by sea) to [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]] or [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]] for winter. Later, the wealthy in the growing country maintained several seasonal residences and shifted residence with the seasons, to avail themselves of the best time to be at each location, and they named their time there "the season". In [[British India]], [[British Ceylon|Ceylon]] and [[British Malaya|Malaya]], the cooler [[hill station]]s became the place of residence for Europeans during the hot summers, and [[Shimla|Simla]] became the summer capital of the [[British Raj]].
