I did do a walk around most of the buildings though to make sure he wasn't holed up in the garage or something. I have nothing clever to put here.

There was one found in an Bald Eagle nest. I would highly doubt that critter has rabies. I would imagine it's tummy rumbled and went out looking for a mid winter snack.
