The data page at BugGuide lists recordings for Black Saddlebags in Minnesota and Michigan as well as Ontario, Canada.

Dragonflies are tricky...I'm not 100% sure of this. Website said "absent from upper mid-west".... would that include Michigan?? It is a saddlebags, for sure, but there are several species.
