This skua was attracted to Pamelia and nearly landed on her head—no small matter for either of them, given that skuas have a four- to five-foot wingspan and weigh about 17 pounds (more than a bowling ball). Instead he plunked down on the ground just a few inches from her feet and, in yet another unforgettable experience,&nbsp;stayed there for a long time staring up at her. (Pamelia was not photographing him, by the way; she was frozen in place watching him.)
