On Sunny Spring Days
TWIN PEAKS NATURAL HABITAT
TWIN PEAKS IS THE LAST SAN FRANCISCO HABITAT FOR THE MISSION BLUE BUTTERFLY (ICANICIA ICANIODES MISSIONENSIS), AN ENDANGERED SPECIES THAT WAS ONCE COMMONLY FOUND THROUGHOUT THE CITY. ON SUNNY SPRING DAYS A FEW SMALL IRIDESCENT BLUE BUTTERFLIES MAY STILL BE SEEN ABOUT THIS REMNANT OF THEIR FORMER HABITAT. PRESERVATION OF TWIN PEAKS ASSURES A PLACE FOR THE MISSION BLUE AS WELL AS OTHER NATIVE ANIMALS AND PLANTS THAT ARE PART OF THE CITY'S NATURAL HERITAGE.
