...but we might have to rethink a little bit how they got there. Fujianvenator prodigiosus is one of the earliest bird-like dinosaurs.
And it was a flightless running bird. Long legs, small wings...showing that it had already evolved flight and then given up the habit. Although I actually have a different theory, which paleontologists agree might be possible.
This may be the oldest of the waders...and maybe it did fly, just not very well. Where it was found there were a variety of swamp creatures.
I'm going with wader.
