@NorcalGma2 do you mind to share where this is? It is a marsh as you wrote in the ALT text, this means it is a coastal brack water marsh?
And nice photo. Thanks for sharing.

The pond is brackish water and next to a levy at the Eel River Wildlife Area Ocean Ranch. In Humboldt County northern California within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean and Table Bluff.

Ahhh...
But I am Wailaki so my family has been here for much longer than that.
We live in a very scenic area.
It is a ten minute drive from my house to the pond in the photo.
