Many thanks to Tim Williams for the reply to
my question. You said you might write a more detailed summary if time permits.
Please do - youv'e got me intrigued.
It sounds like the arms didn't function well as
anything but wings - does this support the secondarily flightless
scenario?
Also, I don't know if you have any info on hind
limbs. Once again, as I look out my window I can see a blackbird with one foot
grasping a horizontal branch and the other a vertical. It'sa difference of at
least 90 degrees, and seems to be done in the ankle. Any ideas,
anyone?
Thanks again
Michael Lovejoy
