Fun find in Zone 9!

With the departure of family and guests and a gloriously sunny Monday with calm wind and a lake devoid of boats, I was able to take my time and do a "deep dive" of Zones 9 and 8 today. The west side of 9 is flourishing in littoral life; Zone 8 is dark and quickly gets deep so not much going on there. What I did see in Zone 9 included lots of the "usual" and -- I think!! -- a couple of groups of Coontail toward the very southern end of 9, opposite Boyton Island. I didn't want to pull it up so got the best pics I could in the calm waters. According to the AIS guide, the other known spotting of this plant is near Wiley Brook.
