Life in the Marsh

1A marsh is wet land with lots of tall grass. Many plants and animals live in a marsh.

2A cattail is a plant with a brown top. The top looks like a hot dog on a stick!

3A heron is a bird with long legs. It stands still in the water and waits for a fish to swim by.

4A water strider is an insect that walks on top of the water. It glides along like a skater.

5A muskrat is an animal with thick brown fur. It swims well and builds a home out of cattails and mud.

6A minnow is a fish that is very small. Herons like to eat minnows!
