Observation Narrative	Habitat is an irregularly flooded tidal flat adjacent to a deeply flooded area of Parramore Island known as North Pond. This feature used to be a large, isolated pond but is not connected to tidal channels on the west side of the island. The captures "salt flat" vegetation dominated by Salicornia virginica, which occurs within a more extensive area dominated by Distichlis spicata and some Spartina alterniflora. These species also occur in the Salicornia zone, the latter two as scattered emergents.
