Since I was in the area, I decided to take an evening stroll through Yellow Barn State Forest, from Yellow Barn Road to Tehan Road. First bird I saw was a Blackburnian - a propitious first bird - one of two countersinging high in the trees. Other warblers include redstart, black-throated blue, ovenbird, chestnut-sideds and many yellowthroats at the power cut along with many towhees. Also heard were blue-headed vireo, rose-breasted grosbeak, common raven, and the subwoofing wingbeats of a fleeing grouse.
Not bad for a low-expectation evening stroll (in spite of the ATV circling back and forth along the same few trails).
