-'''[[The Billboard]]''' is a massive granite monolith in the [[Sarnoff Mountains]] of the [[Ford Ranges]] of [[Westarctica]] standing just west of Mount Rea between [[Arthur Glacier]] and [[Boyd Glacier]]. It was discovered in November 1934 by a Second Byrd [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Expedition (1933–35) sledge party under [[Paul A. Siple]], and is so named because of its form and appearance with vertical faces rising above the continental [[ice]].
+The '''[[Brown Skua]]''' is a large seabird that breeds in the subantarctic and [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] zones and moves further north when not breeding.
-The summit was first visited by Bruce Luyendyk and Kuno Lecha by helicopter in January 1993 during expedition GANOVEX VII. In 1998-99, Christine Siddoway led a geological party from Colorado College that reached the summit by climbing a west route. The face of The Billboard has not yet been climbed.
+Brown skuas are masters of piracy, they often feed by stealing partially digested fish from the the beaks of other birds. Their victims are typically terns or [[penguin]]s, though other fish-eating species are also pursued until they disgorge their catches. The fact that skuas are swift and agile fliers (and that they sometimes gang up on a single victim) aid in their success rate. This is the heaviest species of skua and rivals even the largest gulls as the heaviest species in the shorebird order although not as large in length or wingspan.
