A Comb In the Claw.

Many birds possess useful comb in
the claw Of the middle toe of the foot.
This has been noticed In owls, night.
Jars, herons, bitterns, cormorants. gan
nets. ETC. 1t has been explained as a
means Of holding the prey securely.
The comb is sometimes replaced by a
curved blade with teeth. which run
along the inner side of the claw. Such
q blade is found in razorbills, wild
ducks, gulls. starlings and many. other
birds. Where comb IS required the
inner edge of this blade becomes d.
viied into teeth. Young uightjars or
goatsuckers have only the blade, but
old ones have a we'll developed comb.
