fr. the earlier grice, OF. griesche meor hen: cf. F. piegrièche
shrike.] (Zoöl.
Definition: ) Any of the numerous species of gallinaceous birds of the
family Tetraonidæ, and subfamily Tetraoninæ, inhabiting Europe, Asia,
and North America. They have plump bodies, strong, well-feathered
legs, and usually mottled plumage. The group includes the ptarmigans
(Lagopus), having feathered feet.
Note: Among the European species are the red grouse (Lagopus
Scoticus) and the hazel grouse (Bonasa betulina). See Capercaidzie,
Ptarmigan, and Heath grouse. Among the most important American
species are the ruffed grouse, or New England partridge (Bonasa
umbellus); the sharp-tailed grouse (Pediocætes phasianellus) of the
West; the dusky blue, or pine grouse (Dendragapus obscurus) of the
Rocky Mountains; the Canada grouse, or spruce partridge (D.
Canadensis). See also Prairie hen, and Sage cock. The Old World sand
grouse (Pterocles, etc.) belong to a very different family. See
Pterocletes, and Sand grouse.
