Question
My best guess is that this is one of the blue grasses, and my inclination is to remove it. I’ll try to get better photos if needed for ID. It’s on our Long Island property. Many thanks for all your help!
Answer
Dear MossGal, you have likely photographed Anthoxanthum odoratum (large sweet grass). This is an early-flowering grass that is common in lawns, fields, and other clearings. While it is non-native, it doesn't appear to invade intact habitats (especially when a canopy produces shade). Best wishes.
