Alfred Hitchcock's famous horror movie, 'The Birds' was filmed in 1963 at The Schoolhouse on Bodega Lane, with the soaring white wood building playing a prominent role in the action. While the sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks depicted on screen don't actually occur in this bucolic town, the former fishing village truly is a center for bird migration. Birdwatching is popular amid the squawking and chattering of bird season, and many visitors stop at the tall white building on a gently sloping hill just off Bodega Highway to set the mood.

Built in 1873, the house was originally the Potter Schoolhouse, then a local community center, an inn, a restaurant, and a guesthouse. It's now a private residence (17110 Bodega Lane, Bodega), with patient owners who hope that not too many people peer in their windows. Hitchcock saved the property, in reality, since the redwood building had been abandoned the year before he decided to film.

Next door, the St. Teresa of Avila church was also briefly in the film. The church was first made famous in a photograph by Ansel Adams. To maintain 'The Birds' theme, after gazing at the schoolhouse, continue seven miles to the coast to the town of Bodega Bay. The boat dock and restaurant scenes were filmed at the Tides Wharf Restaurant.
