For what it's worth, I've been running Cerulean Warbler surveys across southern Michigan for the past week (around 30 transects surveyed at present) and Ovenbird has been the most abundant neotropical breeder, just ahead of Red-eyed Vireo. Of course, these surveys are primarily taking place in healthy, unfragmented forest, so there's certainly bias in this report.
