Doesn't terribly menacing but not so sure after looking them up online. They can be downright nasty from the sounds of it. Nice portrait of this bird.

Nice portrait Alan. A bit dark - perhaps a bit more push of shadows/exposure will make this even better.

I haven't seen the Brown skua or the South Polar skua. Great headshot, Alan!

nice pose of what looks like a brown seagull.

Thanks Beth. The skua is related to the gull but is much more aggressive.

Very cool Alan! I haven't heard of this bird before. Being all brown is interesting.
