What vegetation is this and do ducks eat it?

Would have to see it in person. Send GPS coordinates and would be happy to tell you....
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
I don't care what these clowns on here say about that shit in the top picture.....it ain't worth a shit to a duck. I've got a lowland swamp with probably 15 acres of that shit and it attracts zero ducks.
First pic is lady’s thumb smartweed, and rabbitman should stick to bunny hunting, bc I’m currently watching gadwall and teal feeding on it as we speak. Rather voraciously to be honest.
Also, the 2nd pic is parrotfeather. Non-native, and other than hosting invertebrates, it’s useless to a duck.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

Cattails are useless to ducks.
Smartweed is a primary food source. There are seeds in the flowers.
Strange your ducks aren’t eating it.
Remember just because you have a food source doesn’t mean you’ll have ducks.

Go look at the place earlier in the year. The local wood ducks may be eating it all before you start looking for ducks.

That's not coontail... sorry... i second the parrotfeather.
no ducks in smartweed? consider how deep it's flooded. If it's too deep, they can't get to the seed that has fallen out to the ground.
Mallard ducks do not eat akerns. Just axe Candor...

Parrot feather was introduced by people pouring their aquarium fish into the environment. It's invasive.

You hunt this opener? If so curious how it went?
