I believe it might also be the most abundant warbler. I think the Yellow-rumped Warbler, Dendroica coronata, has the greatest east-west range. I believe it might also be the most abundant warbler.

If a common sandpiper were present in North America, then by name it would be by default be the "common"est. Most abundant is another story. We must then look at what species has the greatest number of individuals present at any one time which could change based on the time of year. I'll vote for the least. That's Least sandpiper,not least common. Well,
