Obolers: I don't know about you, but I enjoyed the observations on
"Harrassers and harrassees". Now, how about another one? Has any one
besides me ever observed shorebireds in this manner? Or, any other species?
While watching a flock of "peeps", I noted one bird which ran full tilt into
the chest of another. It knocked its target off the mud flat, into the air,
and bakwards. I called it a "pectoral to pectoral encounter". There was no
further aggession, if that was what it was, just that one bump.
