Duck Potato  
Duck Potato provides food and shelter for our small wetland birds, and food for the insects they eat. These Red-winged Blackbird chicks are nestled in the nest their parents built by carefully weaving plants around the Duck Potato stalks.

The bugs seeking nectar on the Duck Potato flowers provide a ready source of food for the mom and dad birds to feed their young.
