A young sparrow hawk, not at all sure of the photographer's good intentions, assumes 

 a characteristic defensive attitude. However, despite the belligerent pose, this species is per- 

 haps the most friendly and sociable of all the hawks. When fully grown, the bird will not 

 measure a foot in length.
