Starlings, an invasive species that first appeared in Northern California in the 1930s, have been a headache for the area's vineyards.

So they brought in reinforcements: falcons, which have been put to work also at airports and golf courses that have bird pest problems. John Blackstone reports on what happens when nature is used against nature.
