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:
“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
