Hi Sharon,
Early in the season, it is about stealthfully hiding the nest building process... The males will begin to call territorially as they establish safe nesting locations. They can be detected by call notes and I am sure the males are calling early in the morning...some all day. Pre-dawn trips should answer your question.
Begin to listen for the night-time territorial/mating flight of Ovenbirds....listen for them in the wee hours of the night.
Michael
