Nothing on camera yet, but I heard crows and magpies this morning before I went down to check. Just two small holes from magpies but left everything in place. The crows and magpies will draw the eagles into it soon I would guess.
To Be Continued.

^ interesting. I did some research and was surprised of the amount of stuff I found that did say and show that weasels kill from the back of the neck area. They clamp on and break the neck and pretty must ride the rabbit till death. I did see were there was blood at different spots in the snow that would indicate it was bite from behind the head and run around some before it died.
