This just-fledged baby wren appears to be very angry, but looks can be deceiving - it was actually very curious, and kept hopping up to my lens so I had to keep backing away! Shortly after I took this shot, it actually flew up ONTO my son's head, and sat there happily for several minutes before flying off to a rock perch! We could not believe it!

Note - there are two other versions available - one with a "Angry Bird Trio" which contains three wrens - two of them facing this angry one, and another with just a pair which might be of interest (I'm thinking of sibling situations here!) . Also, a black and white version of this shot is available (search same title), in addition to a "side profile" shot with a lighter background.

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota. He first became interested in photography during high-school, and after acquiring a Pentax SLR, began taking photos for the school yearbook and developing/printing B&W images in school darkroom. He continued shooting through college, taking portraits, group pictures, weddings, but after beginning his engineering career at Cummins, he let his photography interests go dormant until about 2005 when he acquired his first DSLR and started shooting scenic landscapes from around the US, but concentrating especially on rural areas in ND and WI. Many of his images were encountered while riding motorcycle down random backroads during "golden hour", searching for that magic light...
