Figure 3–44. Model results showing the current predicted distribution of Golden-winged and Blue-winged warblers
in Minnesota-Wisconsin Core. Locations inside focal areas and without Blue-winged Warbler should receive highest
priority for conservation and management actions. Blue-winged Warbler occurrence may be lesser than depicted in
some areas and includes areas lacking regular breeding activity in east-central Minnesota and the western Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. A smaller number of ecological variables were available to model the estimated warbler
distribution in Canada, and thus estimates for some areas within the Great Lakes Conservation region are
preliminary. The model may over-estimate the distribution of the Blue-winged Warbler in GL4.
