I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>The Bay Area city of Richmond recently made an unlikely move that got the attention of its largest employer and taxpayer, Chevron.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It followed other municipalities and counties across California that have filed lawsuits against oil companies, alleging that the energy giants knowingly contributed to climate change and should begin paying for it. Literally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employing the legal strategy that brought states major payouts from tobacco companies decades ago, the plaintiffs are demanding that oil interests begin writing checks to protect Californians against rising seas, crippling drought and harmful air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legal viability of the lawsuits is unclear; the cases are in early stages. But if any succeed, the implications are profound: The state is already spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shore up coastlines, protect infrastructure and retrofit roads and bridges in response to rising seas. And if companies are persuaded to drill and refine less oil, California has a much better chance of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions on the schedule it has set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Richmond, plaintiffs include the cities of Imperial Beach, Oakland, Santa Cruz and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/climate_change/2017-09-19complaintforpublicnuisance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco,\u003c/a> and the counties of Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz. The Los Angeles City Council is considering its own suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state has not joined in, something environmental groups say is a failure of leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Accountability is critical,” said Kassie Siegel, director of the Climate Law Institute at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The state of California can and should file a case seeking money damages and also an injunction against ongoing activities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Justice has sued the Trump administration two dozen times over policies that include several related to the environment. Asked whether the state would join the cities and counties or consider filing its own suit against the oil companies, the Justice Department declined to comment about potential future action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city-county suits began six months ago when Imperial Beach, in southern San Diego County, sued a handful of oil companies. Richmond, surrounded on three sides by water and imperiled by rising seas, joined the fight Jan. 22.

But if any succeed, the implications are profound: The state is already spending hundreds of millions of dollars to shore up coastlines, protect infrastructure and retrofit roads and bridges in response to rising seas. And if companies are persuaded to drill and refine less oil, California has a much better chance of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions on the schedule it has set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Richmond, plaintiffs include the cities of Imperial Beach, Oakland, Santa Cruz and \u003ca href=\"https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case_downloads/climate_change/2017-09-19complaintforpublicnuisance.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco,\u003c/a> and the counties of Marin, San Mateo and Santa Cruz.

That’s because so many are being \u003ca href=\"http://www.wildlifecrossing.net/california/\">hit and killed by cars\u003c/a>. Last year, UC Davis counted 48 mountain lions deaths on California roads.

They scratch the ground, pee and leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a female comes looking for a mate, if she likes what she smells, she caterwauls. It sounds kind of like your neighborhood cat in heat, but a lot louder and deeper.

The operation was the culmination of a 5-year investigation which resulted in the arrest of 10 criminal organization members on federal criminal charges in Santa Cruz, Daly City, and Watsonville. Additionally, during the enforcement action, authorities encountered 11 illegal aliens at the operational locations who were detained initially on administrative immigration violations due to their association with suspected members of a transnational street gang. Ultimately, 10 of those individuals were released. One remains in agency custody at this time due to his criminal history and possible ties to the ongoing investigation. At no time during the operation were minors were left unattended at any of the enforcement locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several days prior to the operation, our Special Agent-in-Charge office notified the Santa Cruz Chief of Police that any non-targeted foreign nationals encountered during the enforcement actions at the search and arrest locations would be held briefly until determinations could be made about their identities and case histories. The Chief acknowledged this possibility and it was agreed that no foreign nationals would enter the Santa Cruz Police Department’s facility or their police vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We worked closely with the Santa Cruz Police Department over the last five years on this case. Allegations that the agency secretly planned an immigration enforcement action in hopes there would be new political leadership that would allow for an alleged “secret” operation to take place are completely false, reckless, and disturbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan L. Spradlin, the Special Agent-in-Charge in San Francisco, has stated that “it’s unfortunate when politics get intertwined with a well planned and executed public safety operation. When politics undermine law and order, the only winners are the criminals.” Spradlin publicly reiterated that he understands the concerns of community members and the sensitive nature of the operation, but that it’s a sad day for the law enforcement community when some continue to make statements because they are worried about their jobs, while our special agents remain focused on doing theirs. “I told the Deputy Chief that rather than disparaging this operation, the community of Santa Cruz should understand that they are safer because of it,” said Spradlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement operations are fluid, and unforeseen circumstances often arise that must be assessed and addressed on site. The goal of this operation was to arrest known members of a violent criminal organization and disrupt the dangerous activities of this organization. All of the arrests were conducted in accordance with agency policies and consistent with the special agents’ authorities under federal law.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz is a sanctuary city, which prohibits its police from cooperating with federal authorities investigating immigration violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police chief and mayor each apologized to city residents for unwittingly violating the sanctuary policy of Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm deeply disturbed and upset,\" Mayor Cynthia Chase said. \"I'm outraged.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting by Paul Elias of The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The operation was the culmination of a 5-year investigation which resulted in the arrest of 10 criminal organization members on federal criminal charges in Santa Cruz, Daly City, and Watsonville. Additionally, during the enforcement action, authorities encountered 11 illegal aliens at the operational locations who were detained initially on administrative immigration violations due to their association with suspected members of a transnational street gang. Ultimately, 10 of those individuals were released. One remains in agency custody at this time due to his criminal history and possible ties to the ongoing investigation. At no time during the operation were minors were left unattended at any of the enforcement locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several days prior to the operation, our Special Agent-in-Charge office notified the Santa Cruz Chief of Police that any non-targeted foreign nationals encountered during the enforcement actions at the search and arrest locations would be held briefly until determinations could be made about their identities and case histories. The Chief acknowledged this possibility and it was agreed that no foreign nationals would enter the Santa Cruz Police Department’s facility or their police vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We worked closely with the Santa Cruz Police Department over the last five years on this case. Allegations that the agency secretly planned an immigration enforcement action in hopes there would be new political leadership that would allow for an alleged “secret” operation to take place are completely false, reckless, and disturbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan L. Spradlin, the Special Agent-in-Charge in San Francisco, has stated that “it’s unfortunate when politics get intertwined with a well planned and executed public safety operation. When politics undermine law and order, the only winners are the criminals.” Spradlin publicly reiterated that he understands the concerns of community members and the sensitive nature of the operation, but that it’s a sad day for the law enforcement community when some continue to make statements because they are worried about their jobs, while our special agents remain focused on doing theirs. “I told the Deputy Chief that rather than disparaging this operation, the community of Santa Cruz should understand that they are safer because of it,” said Spradlin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement operations are fluid, and unforeseen circumstances often arise that must be assessed and addressed on site. The goal of this operation was to arrest known members of a violent criminal organization and disrupt the dangerous activities of this organization. All of the arrests were conducted in accordance with agency policies and consistent with the special agents’ authorities under federal law.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz is a sanctuary city, which prohibits its police from cooperating with federal authorities investigating immigration violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police chief and mayor each apologized to city residents for unwittingly violating the sanctuary policy of Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm deeply disturbed and upset,\" Mayor Cynthia Chase said. \"I'm outraged.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Choral groups around the world have performed the work since its debut in 2014 — and donated proceeds to support the homeless in cities from Melbourne, Australia to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/304880949″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the Choral Project is performing \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> in San Jose and Santa Cruz, two Silicon Valley cities with \u003ca href=\"https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2016-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">substantial homeless populations\u003c/a>. 10 percent of the net proceeds from the choir’s shows will be donated to the Office of Social Ministry at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stjosephcathedral.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saint Joseph Cathedral Basilica\u003c/a> in downtown San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen McGuire, one of the co-creators of \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>, spent 13 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. She led a number of high profile groups, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgmc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus\u003c/a> and a homeless choir in San Francisco called \u003ca href=\"http://www.singersofthestreet.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singers of the Street\u003c/a> (SOS).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire was inspired to launch SOS by a fellow Australian choral conductor, \u003ca href=\"http://www.jonathonwelch.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonathon Welch\u003c/a>, who’s started two homeless choirs himself, in Australia. He also came up with the idea for \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf_exeHB9JA?list=PLwHx0O0gnxuj3Vnf5RZBtImSqzAGvjQrK]”There are so many people who die on the streets every year, who nobody mourns, and nobody knows their name,” McGuire says. \u003cem>Street Requiem,\u003c/em> she says, “is really about the experience of the person on the street, and yes, trying to put the audience, as well as the performers, into a different mindset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> draws from multiple musical traditions, foremost among them Roman Catholic religious music. The “Requiem Æternam” movement, or “Eternal Rest” in Latin, for instance, is a prayer asking God to hasten the journey souls take from purgatory to heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve taken some core elements of the traditional requiem, but we’ve put it into modern vernacular,” McGuire says. “We’ve also taken out some of the very overtly Christian language to try and make it more accessible to people of faith but not a specific religion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Excerpt from “Ubi Caritas – Charity and Love”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when it’s change I’m looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that make you bar the door?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when my hand’s stretched out this way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that makes you turn away?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ubi caritas et amor deus ibi est.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>(Where there is charity and love, there you will find the spirit of God.)\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> also addresses the multiple ways people die on the street across the world every day — not just as a result of exposure to the elements, but also through crime and government oppression. One of the most touching movements, “Gloria,” includes a phrase from the Zulu language commonly sung at South African funerals and demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Senzeni na means ‘What have I done?’ or ‘What have we done?'” McGuire says. “It also means, ‘What have we done, as a society, to each other?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire is not the only musician involved in the project who feels the homeless crisis applies to all of us. That’s why the Bay Area-based, internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade is involved in the San Jose and Santa Cruz performances of \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12685633\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12685633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt='\"The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,\" says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. \"The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-960x541.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,” says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. “The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.” \u003ccite>(Photo: Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s not very hard to end up on the street.” says von Stade, who has performed \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> in Dallas, San Mateo, San Francisco and with an Australian choir at Carnegie Hall. “Nobody’s that different than we are.

She led a number of high profile groups, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgmc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus\u003c/a> and a homeless choir in San Francisco called \u003ca href=\"http://www.singersofthestreet.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singers of the Street\u003c/a> (SOS).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire was inspired to launch SOS by a fellow Australian choral conductor, \u003ca href=\"http://www.jonathonwelch.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonathon Welch\u003c/a>, who’s started two homeless choirs himself, in Australia.

The “Requiem Æternam” movement, or “Eternal Rest” in Latin, for instance, is a prayer asking God to hasten the journey souls take from purgatory to heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve taken some core elements of the traditional requiem, but we’ve put it into modern vernacular,” McGuire says. “We’ve also taken out some of the very overtly Christian language to try and make it more accessible to people of faith but not a specific religion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Excerpt from “Ubi Caritas – Charity and Love”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when it’s change I’m looking for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that make you bar the door?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you when my hand’s stretched out this way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is it that scares you that makes you turn away?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ubi caritas et amor deus ibi est.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>(Where there is charity and love, there you will find the spirit of God.)\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> also addresses the multiple ways people die on the street across the world every day — not just as a result of exposure to the elements, but also through crime and government oppression. One of the most touching movements, “Gloria,” includes a phrase from the Zulu language commonly sung at South African funerals and demonstrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Senzeni na means ‘What have I done?’ or ‘What have we done?'” McGuire says. “It also means, ‘What have we done, as a society, to each other?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGuire is not the only musician involved in the project who feels the homeless crisis applies to all of us. That’s why the Bay Area-based, internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade is involved in the San Jose and Santa Cruz performances of \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12685633\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12685633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt='\"The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,\" says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. \"The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-960x541.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/RS23888_Photo-Jan-23-7-27-40-PM-001-qut-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“The more you go back to [Street Requiem], the more you discover new levels of depth,” says Daniel Hughes, artistic director and conductor of The Choral Project in San Jose. “The depth of emotions I have to this music and the issues just continues to increase.” \u003ccite>(Photo: Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s not very hard to end up on the street.” says von Stade, who has performed \u003cem>Street Requiem\u003c/em> in Dallas, San Mateo, San Francisco and with an Australian choir at Carnegie Hall. “Nobody’s that different than we are.

Others thought the sound of gunfire from the Army's Fort Ord might have spooked the birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those who took note of the sooty shearwater episode was movie director Alfred Hitchcock, who owned \u003ca href=\"http://www.santacruzpl.org/history/articles/299/\" target=\"_blank\">a 200-acre estate\u003c/a> at the end of a narrow, winding road in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Three days after the invasion, the Sentinel buried an item on page 4: Hitchcock had read the paper's account of the invasion and planned to use it in his adaptation of the Daphne Du Maurier \u003ca href=\"https://northviewulrich.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/the-birds-full-text.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">short story\u003c/a> \"The Birds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in fact, the Santa Cruz incident and Ward Russell's theory both made it into Hitchcock's \u003ca href=\"http://the.hitchcock.zone/wiki/Scripts:_The_Birds_(final_draft,_2nd_rev,_02/Mar/1962)\" target=\"_blank\">final script\u003c/a>, set in Bodega Bay. In the film version of \"The Birds,\" Mitch Brenner, the character played by Rod Taylor, is trying to think of a way to drive away flocks of crows and gulls that have begun terrorizing the locals. Brenner has the following exchange with several other characters and a bird sympathizer identified only as Mrs. Bundy:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mitch:\u003c/strong> Mrs. Bundy, you said something about Santa Cruz.

Hundreds of brown pelicans and cormorants were found sick or dead along the Monterey Bay shoreline. \u003ca href=\"http://www.jstor.org/stable/20460314?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents\" target=\"_blank\">Veterinary researchers\u003c/a> eliminated viruses, bacteria or heavy-metal poisoning as the cause, then determined the birds had suffered acute poisoning by domoic acid.

Three days after the invasion, the Sentinel buried an item on page 4: Hitchcock had read the paper's account of the invasion and planned to use it in his adaptation of the Daphne Du Maurier \u003ca href=\"https://northviewulrich.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/the-birds-full-text.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">short story\u003c/a> \"The Birds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in fact, the Santa Cruz incident and Ward Russell's theory both made it into Hitchcock's \u003ca href=\"http://the.hitchcock.zone/wiki/Scripts:_The_Birds_(final_draft,_2nd_rev,_02/Mar/1962)\" target=\"_blank\">final script\u003c/a>, set in Bodega Bay. In the film version of \"The Birds,\" Mitch Brenner, the character played by Rod Taylor, is trying to think of a way to drive away flocks of crows and gulls that have begun terrorizing the locals.

Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.",
