Looking for a nickname

[DesertSpooners]

We know that "Snowbirds" are tourists escaping the cold and the snow, but what do you call Arizonans who are escaping the heat to cooler spots in the summer? Help us come up with a nickname to explain our rambling in the summer.

The Rio Grande Valley has "winter Texans" so I guess you could have summer whatevers. My Arizona relatives spent a couple of weeks every August back at the family farm in North Dakota to escape the heat for a while.
