    Hello again, I know grasses are hard but I am hoping that I have enough information here for you to be able to tell me something about this grass. It is located on an island in Salem Sound, MA Thank you very Much! SueLB

    Answer

    Dear SueLB, good morning. Yes, they are difficult from photographs. What I can suggest is that these images look to capture Poa pratensis (Kentucky blue grass). It is likely either subsp. pratensis or subsp. angustifolia (both are non-native). I don't know for certain this is the correct identification, so if any control is to happen, let's be sure to collect a specimen so that a confident identification can be achieved. Best wishes.
