There are about 75 species of smartweed all belonging to the buckwheat family. They thrive along roadsides, wet meadows and marshy areas and grow 1-4 feet tall. They are considered choice foods in the late summer and fall for waterfowl and game birds. This one had a small insect of some type onboard when I snapped the shot.
Oh, that's a reasonable amount to know by heart Kathy, LOL.
A very fine composition and a well balanced background. Nice capture again!
