Bloomfield California 358

Bloomfield is a small town in Sonoma County, California. It is located in a rural area about 11 miles southwest of Santa Rosa, at the junction of Bloomfield Road and Valley Ford Road.
Hitchcock's Films
The Birds (1963)
The Birds (1963) - publicity still

Although Hitchcock used Bodega Bay and the nearby town of Bodega for the majority of exterior locations in The Birds, he also shot a short sequence on Bloomfield Road, in the small town of Bloomfield.[1]

The sequence was ultimately cut from the film and all that survives now is a publicity still showing Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor walking down a road strewn with dead birds. In the background, a car has crashed into the porch of a house. Further down the road, it's possible to see a small group of onlookers, who were likely either local residents or members of the film crew.

The building in the foreground with the crashed car is Stormy's Tavern[2] and the building behind with the side staircase is the local Masonic lodge. Beyond the lodge is the local town hall.

Eerily quiet. I can see why Hitchcock chose it. V

Looks like a nice, quiet little town.
