Thank you Susan and 5Creeks for the wonderfull and informative talk by SF Lepidopterist Liam O'Brien at the Library on Monday night. Packed house, standing room only and beautiful show.

Susan, thank you for bringing attention to Albany Hill; or, at least what remains of it. I remember visiting it with my grandmother. The entire hill was like a beautiful green woods, where goats used to roam to keep everything neat and trim. It was a peaceful retreat where you could see wild animals, birds and interesting native plants. Too bad it no longer exists. Now, it is so riddled with human habitation with its attending noise, litter and toxic waste that wildlife has nearly disappeared. It is painful to see that Albany Hill, the last vestige of nature's peace and beauty in our city, was gouged, shrunken and reduced to a memory. It was all about money. Sorry, kids, you will just have to use your imagination now.
