Subject: Raven eating mouse

I went to look at the family of Black-shouldered Kites in Coree today, and witnessed an Australian Raven swallow a mouse whole. Would a raven be capable of catching and killing a mouse, or can we expect that it was already dead/sick, possibly from poisoning? The presence of mice does explain why the BSKs have chosen the spot and the 4 large young, but if this indicates the latter, then unwell mice could could pose problems?
