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:
“In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,—no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,—so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
