Not sure where the idea that robins all migrate for the winter, it seems to be a very common misconception. But they don't. I see them all winter long. Same with turkey vultures. We have hundreds that roost together every winter here in Ohio.

saw a flock of near a dozen couple weeks ago while i was flintlock hunting. They were working on wild grapes atop a mountain. I believe some stay all winter and adapt to what food is here?

I have 4 mourning doves that have been here all winter hitting my bird feeders.

The robin knows there won’t be six more weeks of winter. Punxsutawney Phil can now relax and stay in his hole.
