I think I've identified these plants correctly.  It's also known as a common reed and it grows in wetlands all throughout Connecticut and the east coast.  From what I've read there are two species, which look very similar but can be identified through genetic testing.  One species is native, while the other might have been introduced from Eurasia by way of the water in ship's ballast.
