yellow flag iris sighted see below
Actions & Comments
Sighted what appears to be yellow flag iris at the bottom of the path where the vegetation line meets the sand. Water runoff erosion is evident and it seems that this invasive made its way down from above somewhere. It is a bit unusual to see it in a non marshy area.I will take a photo and submit an online report to 1-800 Invader.

Very few people on the beach; most of them arrived just prior to sunset (which was beautiful).
