Defn: ) Any of the numerous species of gallinaceous birds of the family Tetraonidæ, and subfamily Tetraoninæ, inhabiting Europe, Asia, and North America.

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.
