A glider?

Observing the position of the limbs and the spread feathers it seems to me the
animal was a sort of a glider. One can easily imagine these creatures climbing
up the trees and then gliding short distances from one tree to another. (This
one obviously missed the target tree ;) - it looks just like a cartoon
character that made a heavy landing.)
One can also speculate that the nests of these dromaeosaurs were high up in
the trees and that young dinosaurs (like the fossilized one) abandoned the
nest while still immature, jumping from the nest and gliding all the way to
the ground.
