Fennoscandian Population
This genetically distinct population is now estimated at about 20 breeding pairs or 60–80 total individuals at most. They breed in in Northern Norway and overwinter in Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey. There is a major stopover site at Hortobágy, Hungary where the birds spend up to two months during autumn and one month during the spring migration.

Famous quotes containing the word population:
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
