Some of our robins here in Manassas, Virginia, never left this winter. Boy, were they sorry! At least 5 inches of that nasty white stuff on the ground right now, and it’s still “flurrying”.
From what I’ve read they eat fruit, berries, caterpillars, beetles, and earthworms. They don’t always migrate either. There are some robins in the New England area that spend the winter there.

The robins have been around here for a few weeks…but it is snowing again.

Being in the south, we’re used to snowbirds.

Saw the first robin about 3 weeks ago. DC area. It was about 22 deg. and he could hardly move.

As my medieval name, I chose Fair Weather (Beatrice Fayrewether) because I avoid extremes in weather.

I saw my first robin late last week – singing so loud. I had to stop and listen.
