"Snowbird" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Gene MacLellan. Though it has been recorded by many performers, it is best known through Anne Murray 's 1969 recording, which—after appearing as an album track in mid-1969—was released as a single in mid-1970.
A snowbird is a person who migrates from the colder northern parts of North America to warmer southern locales, typically during the winter. The southern locales include the Sun Belt and Hawaii in the United States, as well as Mexico and the Caribbean. Snowbirds used to primarily be retired or older, but are increasingly of all ages.
The term, as used, was coined in 1971, by marketing students at the University of Tampa (Florida). Frank Zedar, a New Yorker, had heard the Anne Murray song of the same name (Snowbird) while serving with the US Army in Viet Nam in 1969. The students, seeking a word to describe the annual migration, shamelessly "borrowed" the song's title.
