Ziva, a gyr-saker falcon, assigned to the Air Force Academy falconry program, catches a training bait during a training session at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo., Oct. 11, 2017. Nine cadets make up the Academy’s falconry team, with four chosen each year to replace the graduating seniors. New cadet falconers begin training in January under upperclassman and master falconer Sam Dollar. Daily duties include maintaining equipment in the facility, cleaning the mews, feeding the falcons, checking each bird’s health, weight, and training. ( Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
