I am in NE Ohio. Robins winter over in the woods behind my house and come to my yard all fall/winter and early spring for the left over fruit and nuts I grow. I always leave some in the yard for them. It's a really perk-up on a drab winter day to see robins, cardinals, blue jays and juncos in the trees and shrubs.
Another way to entice them to come out in the winter is to supply fresh warm water. There are water warmers sold just for that purpose.
