I am not a big plant guy so forgive my ignorance. The bigger plants we have seen more recently, which I think are some type of wild rice, have started to brown and die off. Most of the widgeon grass was still green. Some other stalk like tall grass where we hunted this weekend was still green also. Looked like surge from Patricia may have not done much damage. This is all down off pass a loutre.

The bigger plants are new to the area and are a variety of wild millet.

My biggest concern is what the ducks are eating which are known as submerged aquatics like widgeon grass, coon tail, three corner etc. all of that is VERY sensitive to salt water so if it still looks green that would be outstanding news. My concern would be it got rolled up and taken out of the ponds (which I don't think there has been enough surge to do) or kill the grass by the saltwater burning it here you would see it turning brown and dying. Sounds like that's not the case so that is EXCELLENT news. now we really need a front to push some of the water out!

Thanks for the report!
