Vadaravis is an extinct genus of waterbird from the early Eocene period in North America. It contains a single species, Vadaravis brownae, named after American biologist Barbara Elaine Russell Brown.[1] An almost complete skeleton of the bird, lacking the skull, was found in the sediments of the Green River Formation in Wyoming, United States. It was suggested to have possibly been a close relative of the Threskiornithidae family, which includes ibises and spoonbills.[2]
