 Telemetric Observations of a Robin (Turdus Migratorius)
The Robin also rested in the day in the cherry and hackberry trees where it fed. It spent most of its day (about 71 per cent) sleeping or resting with eyes closed, and no more than 26 per cent of the day foraging and feeding.
The Robin's behavior the second day was similar to that of the first; it frequented the same areas and even the same trees.
The Robin was captured, with a mist net at 0730 hours on 20 July 1964, near the south edge of the University of Illinois campus.

 Day, Robin
Sir Robin Day is admired as one of the most formidable of political interviewers and commentators in British television and radio.
As a student at Oxford, Day became president of the Oxford Union debating society and subsequently trained for the Bar before realizing that a career in the media was ideally suited to his talents.
Interviewees were rarely allowed to wriggle off the hook by the relentless Day, who showed scant respect for rank and title, and on several occasions were bludgeoned into making disclosures that would doubtless have otherwise remained unrevealed (though some viewers were appalled at Day's brusque persistence and called him rude and insensitive).

 UPA Tournament Formats: Five Teams
Under the one-day scenario, the round-robin alone is four games for each team (in five rounds), and to do any more would be violating the 4-game limitation rule.
This is a very exciting format because, on the second day, there is a game for first place (in the second round), and, in the third round, there is only one game: the match for second place.
The only problem is that this format requires five rounds each day, and teams that travel far may not want to stick around that long on the second day.

 Howpeg Robin's Nest Blog 2005 Robin's Nest from Start to finish 2005
The female robin does all the pre hatch work, she builds the nest, then lays the eggs, does all of the incubating, and then finally gets to share the feeding and house cleaning duties to the clutch with the male.
A Robin parent returned to the empty nest within minutes with a worm for the hatchling but finding the nest empty swallowed the worm, did a little housecleaning and then was gone.
If similar to the Robins, those eyes should be open tomorrow and I am hoping that there is no Cowbird inflicted damage to the eyes, as she gave our hatchling two or three savage pecks to the head when extracting the chick two days ago.

 BBC - Nottingham - Features - Campaign for Robin Hood Day
The changing of Nottinghamshire's symbol - from Robin Hood to the big N - was met with much outrage as it was distancing the city and the county from its most famous figure.
Out of the 100 asked 87 people were pro a day of celebration, with a further five in favour as long as it incorporated a day off.
Besides, Robin Hood is an historical figure, and history should be embraced; history, historical figures, and events shape the future, no matter how you look at it.
