I can’t remember when robins haven’t overwintered here in the Northeast… certainly not in the numbers we see in the spring but I see them in small flocks of up to 8 birds searching for cherry or crabapples with some dried fruit still clinging to their branches.
We also have two mated pairs of cardinals all winter at my feeders. In the springtime they nest in the bushes around my house.
