“So this is where they filmed ‘The Birds,’ huh?”

Sorry. Morro Bay would have been the ideal location for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror classic The Birds, but it was filmed in Bodega Bay, about 300 miles up the coast. I don’t know why people mistake Morro Bay for Bodega Bay, probably because not too many small California fishing villages have served as the setting for movies about flocks of murderous birds.
