[Tweeters] Fwd: Do Cooper's eat rats?

[J Christian Kessler]

in line with  Paul's response, a few days ago my son in VA took a video of
a Coopers eating an Eastern Grey Squirrel.  they weigh 14-21 oz (Wikipedia)
while the upper end of weight range for the Norway Rat is listed at 17.6
oz. (Wikipedia) -
