Can some one ID these common weeds, swaying beautifully in the breeze this
time of year?

Thank you.

I am in western New York State, USA. These plants like to grow in moist
ditches by the roadside and in marshes. Here are two more pictures:

That looks close, although I am in a much colder climate than California.
Please see my reply to Peter B for more photos.

Thank you.

Is it not one of the Pampas grasses? Probably too far north for Cortaderia
selloana, but possibly Andean Pampas, or Jubata Grass (C. jubata): a
virulent invasive weed, which I think likes damp condtions. There is also a
more temperate variety from New Zealand whose specific name I do not know.

Well, if you have not ruled out the most obvious candidate (common reed),
then that is likely to be it.

On the evidence of your pictures and your statement that they grow in
wet places I am sure they are the common reed Phragmites communis,
which P. van Rijckevorsel mentioned.

One of the world's most useful plants - thatching, making spears,
making rafts, food . . .

I believe you are correct, thanks for the ID.

These appear to be a major problem in California. Have they established
themselves in New York? I don't know.
