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.
