This location used to be considered quite good for butterflies, until about 10-12 years ago, after which it seems to disappear from the Masslep record. Though today didn't yield as many species or individuals as my first couple of trips, I did see a Bronze Copper. The Wayland conservation commission has done a great job of rehabilitating this property as a habitat for birds, butterflies and other wildlife.
