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:
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
