"A jess" is a short strap fastened around the leg of a hawk. In this context, jess is also a verb, meaning, to put jess straps onto a hawk, and is a Falconry training. The jess strap (plural is jesses for both legs), are strips of strong leather.

Example sentence:

The falconer put jesses on the hawks legs prior to training.
