The moorhen chick has claws on the undeveloped wings, too, and uses the
clawed wings "to clamber back if it falls from its waterside nest."  See a
photograph of this little avian dinosaur chick on page 45 of _Eyewitness
Science: Evolution_, by Linda Gamlin, published by Dorling Kindersley,
1993,  ISBN 1-56458-233-7.
