THE BIRDS (1963) Filming Locations in BODEGA BAY | THEN & NOW! (ALFRED HITCHCOCK + TIPPIE HEDREN)

[@kellywoodclark]

Thanks for watching! What’s your favorite Hitchcock film?? 🖤

[@DavidClark-hd3oy]

Rear window!

[@kellywoodclark]

@@DavidClark-hd3oycan’t go wrong with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly

[@Steve2281-Z]

Rear Window and North by Northwest.

[@kellywoodclark]

@@Steve2281-Zgreat choices! Between those I lean Rear Window for my man Jimmy Stewart 😅

[@suestabile1262]

Shadow of a Doubt👻

[@mattcrispin6737]

I'm from England and have only visited California once back in 2015. However, I had a chance to go to Point Reyes lighthouse where 'The Fog' was filmed and yes it was foggy that day. The scenery on this film looks very similar if I remember rightly, it must be in a similar area or nearby. I wish I had known then. Thanks for showing this, great video!

[@kellywoodclark]

Oh I love The Fog! The lighthouse is on my list to go to! The two spots are about 90 minutes apart. Thanks for watching!

[@tedclairmont8837]

Bodega bay is alittle north of point reyes, 20 miles more or less. They get lots of fog in the summertime. Great video.

[@topper1958]

Wow this is great. Bravo Kelly on another fine production.

[@kellywoodclark]

Thanks Steven! I appreciate that and you watching! 🤗🐦‍⬛

[@MCW1955]

I enjoy watching filming location videos and this is one of the best I’ve seen. One of my favorite movies and my wife and I have visited many of the sites. Thanks.

[@kellywoodclark]

Oh thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed! 🤗🐦‍⬛

[@Jerryjohnson-i4g]

Very well done. Your editing is first rate.

[@kellywoodclark]

Oh thank you!! I spent a long time on it so I appreciate that 😅😆

[@Jerryjohnson-i4g]

@@kellywoodclark It's easy to see that you know what you're doing and that makes viewing a much better experience. I've loved this film and especially the locations Hitch used. Very cool.

[@kellywoodclark]

⁠@@Jerryjohnson-i4g makes me happy to hear that! I’ve been a photographer for 15ish years so I parlayed that knowledge into video 🤗

[@elancrew9894]

My wife and I really enjoy your videos! It's clear you put a lot of effort into making them both entertaining and engaging, and it truly shows. By the way, another one of Hitchcock's films, Shadow of a Doubt, was shot nearby in Santa Rosa.

[@kellywoodclark]

Thank you for your kind words and for watching!! I’m really happy to hear that because I do put a lot of thought and effort into them! I had heard about that! I may need to make a trip! 🤗

[@DavidClark-hd3oy]

My favorite channel does it again! Can’t wait to see what’s next

[@kellywoodclark]

More to come!🤗🐦‍⬛🦜

[@kathleenhorner9296]

You nailed it! Well executed in then and now scenes. Editing tops! More like this, please, she cried. Thank you! ❤

Haha aww yay so glad you enjoyed!! I got more coming! Thanks for watching!🤗🐦‍⬛

[@lindabruce355]

Hi Kelly from Scotland. The Birds is my absolute favourite Hitchcock film. It was made the year I was born so ive grown up on it. I have desperately wanted to visit "Bodega Bay" all my life but alas, being a wee skint scottish woman, its unlikely so your video was brilliant. I loved seeing the place , even if a lot of it was mock ups. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@kellywoodclark]

Hello! Thanks so much for watching and that makes me very happy that in some small way this was able to bring bodega bay to you! ☺️🐦‍⬛

[@ssjb7542]

THE BIRDS!!!! ANOTHER stellar CWC Production!! BRAVA!!🙏🌎🎉🎉🎉

[@kellywoodclark]

Thank you! I appreciate you and your kindness!🤗🐦‍⬛

[@chicanica64]

We were there in August. It was fun to see the actual site.

[@pavelow235]

I enjoy your persona and content thanks for the relaxing moments before I sleep . 😊

[@kellywoodclark]

Aw thanks!! I appreciate you watching! And glad it was relaxing!☺️

[@chriskane8625]

Been there ... interesting place.

[@kellywoodclark]

That’s awesome!! It’s a pretty place!

[@chriskane8625]

@ One of my wife’s favorite movies so on a trip where we were going to drive up the coast from San Fran north we stopped.

[@InsideSparta]

Nice selection of your wearing a green outfit for your trip to Bodega Bay, in order to resemble Tippy Hedren's wardrobe. I always thought that's what they did with Melanie Griffin's wardrobe in her film "Working Girl". As an SF Bay Area resident, I've visited Bodega and Bodega Bay a couple of times. There are a number of Hitchcock filming locations in the SF Bay Area, since he was a resident of Scotts Valley, near Santa Cruz.

[@kellywoodclark]

Yessss thank you for noticing!💚 I haven’t seen working girl but I’m sure her costume resembled Tippie it was no accident! I have another Hitch SF filming locations coming soon! 😵‍💫

[@Bulldozer55-sf7ww]

Great video.. When I was in my early 20's I went to central park in nyc and sat at a place to get something to eat and there was a sign that said don't feed the pigeons, well like a fool I tossed them a small piece of bread and withing a few seconds they just kept on coming so it was now obvious that I had fed the birds I felt pretty embarrassed

[@kellywoodclark]

Haha thanks for sharing that story!😅 Lesson learned must have been like a scene out of The Birds!! Thanks for watching!

[@Bulldozer55-sf7ww]

@@kellywoodclark Oh it really was there are allot of hungry pigeons in nyc and they are used to people there must have been 60 around me in a matter of 20 seconds and I was sitting right next to the sign

[@jadenephrite]

Thank you for your video. For those who are unaware, @ 1:56 in 1963 the fare on a San Francisco Cable Car cost 15 cents. Today in 2025, the fare now costs $8.00. @ 2:31 is the Saint Francis Hotel on 335 Powell Street. @ 9:00 the conflagration accidentally started, because the putz was smoking his cigarette near a running gasoline pump which is very dangerous to do.

[@kellywoodclark]

Thanks for sharing this info!

[@MikeDunsmuir]

I visited Bodega Bay about 5 years ago and really enjoyed seeing the film locations and the familiar buildings and surroundings! Great video thanks

1:53 is that a cameo of Hitchcock coming out of the pet shop with the two dogs?

[@kellywoodclark]

Sure is!!

[@jazzpianoman01]

The school that was featured in ‘The Birds’ very cool

[@7peacefrog]

I love this movie, and this was so cool! Thank you for sharing it Our family and 2 others went camping in Bodega By when I was in High School it was so nice!

[@kellywoodclark]

Yay thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed!! It’s a beautiful area!🥰

[@tonysanchez732]

I made a trip there in 1992 looking for the filming locations. The Potter's School House is definitely the highlight of what is left. So happy that it is still there. About 10 years ago, I went to San Francisco looking for the Vertigo film locations. The highlight was the Spanish mission church. The disappointment was finding the facade of Scotty's (J. Stewart) home/apartment totally made over by owners not wanting fans gawking and loitering in front of their property (buy another home!). Criminal if you ask me. Great video and commentary!

[@kellywoodclark]

Thanks for watching Tony! So glad Potters school house is there still! If I recall it’s been owned by the same family since the 60s. Funny you mention vertigo because I may have something coming soon for that one! 🤫And I know what you mean about Scotty’s apt 😣

[@juckimal]

Love your stuff Kelly. Thank you for taking us back to the movies. My favorite is Rear Window.

[@kellywoodclark]

Thanks so much I appreciate that!! I saw Rear window in theatres last year very cool experience!

[@benballesteros6346]

Thank you so much

[@kellywoodclark]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!🐦‍⬛

[@dongordo63]

Great presentation Kelly! I have been obsessed with this film for the past several years, so I've watched a number of video documentaries explaining some aspects. I learned that the scene with the school children running down the street was actually filmed on a treadmill back at Universal and the birds flying attack was all added in post production. (You sounded a bit unsure of this in your comments.) As I recalll, it took over a week to film this one scene. Also, no real bird sounds were used in the movie, although some real birds were used. The sounds were created with sound/electronic equipment. The acting in this film was quite good. One last note.....I used to do legal research for a law firm in LA in the 90s, and we helped Tippi Hendren obtain some info that helped a case she was involved with. She called us and was very grateful. My 15 minutes of fame.....ha!

[@Denny-ph]

Well done!

I lived very close to Potter School House. It changed that community for years. In a good way. From Key West Florida. 66° in the keys on 6 day of January 2025.

[@n8trsho]

So cool, thank you! Fun stuff. I worked in bird conservation for a well known organization for 15 years. You'd be amazed (or maybe not) how many people have a fear of birds thanks to this film. I was a bird nerd kid and loved it when I first saw it.

[@kellywoodclark]

My pleasure thanks for watching! It’s funny how a fictional film can impact people’s feelings so much! Same thing happened with Jaws. Personally I love birds 🥰🐦‍⬛

[@lisag18]

So nice to see a woman doing location videos. I do them myself but post on Facebook, no youtube

[@kellywoodclark]

I noticed less women doing them so nice to hear you do them as well! Do you do classic film spots too??

[@TheSpitler812]

You would be perfect for Hollywood tours or Universal Studios Hollywood tours.

[@socoman99]

The man walking out of the pet shop at the 1:54 mark is Alfred Hitchcock himself.

[@kellywoodclark]

I heard those were also his own pups with him too!

[@amberlopez7477]

''The Birds'' Is a good film for younger teens to watch. Not as scary as films today.🐦

[@kellywoodclark]

Oh definitely! There’s a lot of classic horror films that are safe for younger audiences today! 🤗

[@craigtalbott731]

I believe that I would be more terrified in having those avians "dropping" their bombs upon me (as has happened...feathered friends indeed), similar to what occurred to Mel Brooks' character in his Hitchcock-homage, "High Anxiety". (Are you aware that the very same bird trainer, Ray Berwick, lent his talents on both of those films?)

[@kellywoodclark]

Craig!!!! 👋👋 Haha ya I’m with you on the real terror is the potential splat you may be a victim of haha! I didn’t know that and I actually didn’t know about that film either. Fun fact!! Do you know anything about who the bird trainer was on Its a Wonderful Life??

[@cuda426hemi]

I read the book, a short story by the woman Daphne du Maurier first before seeing the movie when I was a kid. The movie looked fake, it didn't have half the horror of the book. Trust me. There was a really bad ass bird that adds to the horror in the book they totally ignore in the film. Good job here. Youraudio is stuck hard left channel though - see about panning to right or making it mono otherwise 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kellywoodclark]

Hey thanks for your comment! I want to read the short story! I read Hitchcock specifically didn’t want any menacing type of birds so maybe that’s the reason for the change. And thanks for the audio note I am the first to admit audio is not my forte so I don’t actually know what all you said means 😅 but I’ll look into it!🤗🤗

[@cuda426hemi]

@@kellywoodclark It's a quick read, you'll like it. You have such a nice voice it's just a shame it's mostly coming out left channel. Somebody should be able to help you press the right button LOL. Note the snippet of music at beginning comes out both spkrs in stereo so... We need to get you a producer - I live here in Hollywood I'll see if Steve ( the Spiel) is available, lol. Good stuff though, cheers 👍🏻

[@kellywoodclark]

Haha thank you! Oooo how I’d love a producer and someone to do the audio 😅 but I appreciate the note and will see what I can do until Steven or his buddies are free to come lend a hand 😂

ive read thaT the fire scene was filmed in capitola

[@mikeifyouplease]

It might be a little bit kitsch, but... it might have made an enjoyable and amusing video, had you dressed up as Tippie Hedren, complete with the blonde hair. (I have to admit, that you really look much like her and give off a bit of her "vibe" as well.)

Psycho has to be you need to go there !!
