Along with Ron Cloutier, Barbara and I spent over 3 hours looking for Bronze
Copper. We started at Wayland Community Gardens, then to Sudbury Community
Gardens, then to Nine Acre Corner and finally back to Wayland Comm. Gardens
where at 1:00pm we finally found a female Bronze Copper (very fresh). It
was along
a 20 foot path to a water fountain just after the end of the gardens on
your right as
you walk into the gardens from the parking lot near the street. Other
sightings:

Sudbury Comm Gardens never got planted this year because of all the rain this
Spring. Most of the red clover at Nine Acre Corner is dried out early this
year.
The area along the road into the Wayland Comm Gardens has been cut almost
down to the end of the gardens on your right but just short of where we found
the Bronze Copper. Of course, it is still early for the Bronze Coppers and they
should peak in 10 days or so.
