Description

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.
