​Walk sponsored by Barrington Library and Ocean State Bird Club, led by Lauren Parmelee of ASRI; 16 participants. Weather as we started out was a bit overcast, slightly misty and cool but pleasant.  Walked on path from parking lot to shore of Mt Hope Bay.  By the end of the walk the sun and blue sky had emerged. For future reference, new policy in place.  The parking lot entrance is now gated, open from 8 am to 6 pm.

Harrison.
