If I'm right - the frequency of problem feeders will increase.

If it is a genetic thing - then in some places, baby kings that are less likely to prey on rodents as hatchlings are more likely to survive - because the invasive rodents in this state are much more aggressive than the native rodents, and more likely to kill a neonate trying to scarf one of their babies.

Thus, we may witness (well, over time) a shift in wild cal kings to where they become as problematic as the mountain kings. Just my guess.
