of mouse, mice, fr. the earlier grice, OF. griesche meor hen:

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 (Pedioc[ae]tes
phasianellus) of the West; the dusky blue, or pine
grouse (Dendragapus obscurus) of the Rocky Mountains;
the Canada grouse, or spruce partridge (D.
