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!

Thanks for the plant lesson.

Coontail and three corner were present where we hunted. We had coontail wrapped on decoy weights. Both were green. Widgeon grass that I saw green was not in our hunting spot but present along pass a loutre where we fished.

I thought ruppia was relatively salt tolerant?
