@JimsPhotos Wa-HO!!! Just a cotton-picking minute!! Hold it right there...This lower photo shows an apparent absence of tertiary wing feathers near the body!! Sometimes fossils are found of ancient dinobirds, with this apparent gap, and people say it's a feature not found on modern birds.But in flight, in the top photo, the tertiaries next to the body seems present!!!

None
