Question about robins [View all]

I'm lucky to live between a college campus/arboretum and a wooded creek, so I see a wide variety of birds. I'm south of Philadelphia, and grew up in the area.

I noticed recently that robins have been visible year round. I remember when I was younger that robins were a sign of spring. Have they stopped migrating? Is my memory wrong?

Just wondering....
