I have not been able to find breeding maps for American Robins in Texas. But in this area, the soils are clay and quickly dry and crack so IF robins breed here, they will do it early and then leave. Many times I hear birds start to sing just before they leave their wintering grounds so I don't think singing is exclusive to breeding grounds.
Also the bird list for Choke Canyon State Park, the actual sighting place, says Robins are rare in winter. But it seems most of Texas has a robin invasion this year. There are so many robins that some other birds that are uaually here are missing. We saw several hundred robins over the weekend trip there.
Confirmed Song
I had to compare it to the robin song when I got home, as I seldom get to hear it anymore.
As far as I can remember, it was the same.
