Do you see a tawny frogmouth in this picture? No, you don't, you just see a funny looking branch. Move along, nothing to see here.

Yes, the birds have clawed fingers. They atrophy away as they mature, though.

Actually, a lot of birds have clawed fingers. The wing itself is supported by two fused fingers, but the equivalent of the thumb is free and often sports a vestigial claw. Apparently the feather-bearing fingers can develop claws too. At least the claw-bearing (distal) phalanges is still there.

Damn, what are those really? I thought they were geese but their legs and feet make them look more terrestrial than most geese.

When I went to Aquatica in Florida, people were holding birds while we waited in line to get our tickets. One of them was the tawny Frogmouth.
