That is what I see in my yard too. I'm hoping it's just KBG but it sounds like the opinions are divided in this thread.

Did you seed last year ?? I also have it all over my yard in my front lawn, my side yard and back as well. I'm not saying that it's KGB in your case cuz I don't know but in my case it has to be KGB it is way to wide spread in my lawn and I did a reseed last year.

Thank you everyone for all the help so far. I added some more pictures also added 2 more weeds that I'm not sure what they are one is a weird thick grass and the other are like little flowers, anyone that could help in telling me more info about this would be appreciated.

I did a complete Fall 16 renovation, so yes, brand new yard. I didn't do any pre-emergence this spring because I had to fill in some bare spots (I also did an overseed).

I posted some pictures below to show the difference between Poa annua and KBG seedheads, they are taken from my lawn, KBG is bewitched.

Image
There is one annua seedhead, it's pretty obvious.

Image
Left is KBG, right is Poa annua

Image
Lots of seedheads in bewitched monostand, I thought they don't produce that much.

Image
Close up of KBG seedhead, noticed how thick and fertile it is.

Nc state ag dept has a turf Id page that you can use to determine if this is kbg or poa a. You'll have to spend a few minutes to learn about auricle and liguor and such. We can all take guesses, but when it comes down to it, you have the access to the plant to identify.

Hmm, I resized to 1600x1200, not sure why they are not bigger, I will reload them later.

Maybe because maximum size on the website is 800X600? Could that possibly be it?

My thought is that guessing (and I believe it is guessing) from a picture is a fools errand and the only worse thing is believing those that guess. I can look at my own lawn and spot Poa Annua or Poa Triv in a second, but in a picture it is like I'm looking at something from Mars. Notice that almost none of the members with 5000+ posts guess. That should tell you something.
