[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was following this little kinglet trying to shoot through the branches of a pine tree. It was so playfull and energetic and did let me approach... suddenly something fell in the grass, I did not understnad it was the bird that fell or just a leaf? I searched the grass carefully but did not see it. I looked up in the tree and could not see it either. Seconds after I saw it in the grass, it was so small and helpless and for a moment I thought it was sick, but I think it was just resting as you can see, it was calm, it let me approach as much I need in order to capture the wonderful crown, I walked back very slowly not to scare it, shortly after I saw it revived and continuing feeding from the grass around his spot and lately successfully flew up in the pine tree.

Beautiful bird. It was nice of it to accommodate you for this shot. Interesting story. The detail is excellent.
