The males face blizzards and extreme cold, then the mothers return for the chicks while the fathers seek food. Noted bird expert Malcolm Davis records courtship in captivity and ongoing uncertainties about sex and mating behaviors among emperors.

Bristol Town Debt Runs Low In 10,000 To 20,000 Population
A report by the U I Public Expenditures Council finds Bristol in the 10,000 to 20,000 population bracket has the lowest per capita debt in the state aside from Woonsocket. Pay as you go budgeting and a strong debt retirement program keep debt down while the town bears a high tax rate of 33.60 per 1000. The survey notes Bristol’s per capita valuations and high tax exemptions reflect modest growth and a large Mount Hope Bridge contribution.
