Because wing length is highlycorrelated with sixother reasonable measures of generalsize but is simpleand easy to visualize,we usedwing length as a measureof generalsize. The smallestrobins occur in the warm, humid easternUnited States,and the largestoccur in the high, cool, and dry Rocky Mountains,northern Great Plains,and northern deserts. Wing shape changesallometrically with size, becoming more pointed in larger birds, but wing shapein the Arctic is more pointed than would be predictedby this trend. Another exceptionto the allometriccovariation of size and shapeis that leg length as a proportion of generalsize is smallin Mexicoand large in the cool,humid forestsalong the Pacificcoast.

During the 1870's the Cheyenne people nearly lost control of this land, however, because the federal government was trying to forcibly remove them from their homeland and confine them to an agency in Oklahoma.
