The hawk and the rat

Anybody see Ladyhawk divebomb some lucky fan with a rat at Fenway yesterday? One keen-eyed TV watcher reports:

... Just before the Air Force fly-over, the hawk cruises over Fenway with what is obviously a large dead rat in its talons.

There was a mention of it on WBUR this morning so I know I was not hallucinating. ...
