Capitola, California: It’s For The Birds…Hitchcock’s Birds

Capitola California

 

Capitola, California is located in Santa Cruz County on Monterey Bay. According to Capitola/Santa Cruz lore, in the early 1960s, a large group of normally passive birds began attacking Capitola residents and tourists.

Nearby Santa Cruz was a favorite vacation spot for a well-known movie director. He’d read about the bird attacks and decided to make a movie about it. The director’s name was Alfred Hitchcock. The movie…The Birds.

    I enjoyed the articles and pics. I have been walking the streets of New York City trying to get inspiration for Novel 5. So far, all I’ve gotten is a cold.
