Much of the classic thriller was photographed in the Bay Area, principally in and around Bodega Bay which attracts thousands of movie-location visitors every year.

One memorable scene in the picture cuts two of those locations together.

That can sometimes confuse an "in-the-steps-of" tourist. 

As the set piece begins, the character Melanie, played by Tippi Hedren, waits outside a school building, oblivious to a gathering conspiracy of ravens behind her.

When the birds take flight they chase the students, their teacher and Melanie down Bodega Lane in the village of Bodega. Cut to: the waterfront in the town of Bodega Bay. In reality that's close to a seven-mile trip.
