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:
“A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
