CURB Tidal Marsh Survey, Day 2

It is our second day beginning to identify plants in the six plots of the CURB Tidal Marsh. Starting with the plot the farthest away from the bridge, closest to the Yonkers Paddle Club, we found many new unidentifiable kinds of grass and leafy plants. It is rather hard to really identify these plants unless they are flowering, but we are slowly making progress. We are finding mostly native plants, which is what we expected, however, there are a few non-native plants and grasses such as the ribwort plantain. We also saw a monarch butterfly feeding on the milkweed.
