On August 18, 1961 the Santa Cruz California Sentinel reported a startling event: “Residents, especially in the pleasure point and Capitola area, were awakened about 3 am today by the rain of birds slamming against their homes.” The 1961 Sooty Shearwater attack on Capitola, that possibly inspired one of the most famous “natural horror” movies ever made, deserves to be remembered.
