Question
I found this grass along the dunes in Aquinnah, MA as well as wetland margins. I thought it might be switchgrass but I haven't been seeing the thicker leaves associated with switchgrass. Any ideas?
Answer
Dear jmckenzie96, you've photographed Avenella flexuosa (wavy hair grass; synonym: Deschampsia flexuosa). This is a native grass of rocks, ledges, balds, sandy openings, and (sometimes) shorelines.
