Here are a few shots of a peregrine falcon from the Air Force Academy putting on a show at 'Eagle Days' at Lake Pueblo, CO.
The handler has a bait ball at the end of rope that they use to draw the falcon to them

After a few passes by the handler he will let the falcon get the bait

Nice set.
The leather strips seen attached to the ankles are called jesses, are used to control the bird when on the handler's glove, or on the bird's perch. http://www.americanfalconry.com/glossary.html

Fast birds at this range are not easy to keep focus. Soaring eagles are so much easier.

What a good day you had! Thank you for sharing it with us. The peregrines are one of my favorite birds to photograph.

Thank you for taking a look Fergus. It's nice to have the Air Force Academy falcon's at Pueblo Eagle Days every year.
