And still later, and on till February, they were very numerous on the Hudson, coming all about my house,-more familiar even than the little snowbird, hopping beneath the windows, and looking up at me apparently with as much curiosity as I looked down upon them.
"Birds and Poets"
John Burroughs
And there were chickadees and juncos, which are one kind of snowbird; and there were a lot of little birds which looked like sparrows, and there were red-polled linnets, and occasionally a flock of cedar-birds would cover the cedars like gray snowflakes, and once David's mother called him to come quick and see the pine grosbeaks.
"The Doers"
William John Hopkins
And she was off over the hills with almost the lightness and swiftness of a snowbird.
