If your interested in bird evolution, several different stages of there evolution have been documented recently, after finds in china. I suggest you
research, archaeopteryx the most famous link in the evolutionary chain, or tetrapteryx a particular favorite of mine that had feathers on all 4 of its
limbs and its tail and supports the theory that feathered flight evolved from trees, rather than ground up.
Wrote an exam paper on feathered flight a couple of weeks ago as part of my degree course. Would be happy to help, if you want some more info.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The first detailed look at the ancestor of modern birds -- a grebe-like waterbird that would look normal even today -- was shown off Thursday by scientists who discovered fossil remains in a remote lake bed in China.
"A world lost for more than 100 million years was being revealed to us," as layers of mud were peeled back like the pages of a book, said Hai-lu You of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences.
What they found is being called the missing link on the evolution of birds, a creature that lived in northwest China and is the earliest example of modern birds that populate the planet today.
