	Grouse - LoveToKnow 1911
		The red grouse is found on moors from Monmouthshire and Derbyshire northward to the Orkneys, as well as in most of the Hebrides.
		The bird, however, to which the name of grouse in all strictness belongs is probably the Tetrao tetrix of Linnaeus - the flcock and greyhen, as the sexes are respectively called.
		The various sorts of grouse are nearly all figured in Elliot's Monograph of the Tetraoninae, and an excellent account of the American species is given in Baird, Brewer and Ridgway's North American Birds (iii.

		The opening of the grouse shooting season in the UK is August 12th, lovingly referred to by generations of sportsmen as the "Glorious Twelfth." It is, without doubt, the most celebrated day in the shooting calendar.
		The red grouse is a species unique to the British Isles and is generally found in the uplands of the country, particularly the north of England, Scotland and the northern part of Ireland.
		Red grouse are mainly monogamous, the cocks staying with the hens throughout the rearing process and the family tending to stay together as a covey late into the year.

		Willow ptarmigan is widespread and common in many parts of its extensive range.
		Willow ptarmigan prefer moderately moist lowland areas rich in low willows Salix or birches Betula and ericaceous shrubs, mosses, grasses, and herbs, and more rarely use steep slopes, rocky areas, and lichen-rich tundra.
		The willow ptarmigan is hunted throughout its range, except for the Baltic countries, Belarus, and China, where it is fully protected.

		The period when the moon is waning is not so good for hunting, because the Willow grouse tends to spend time in dense mountain birch forests, where catching it is not easy, and if it goes to open land, it will mostly fly and only stop for a short while on the snow.
		Willow grouse hunting is like fishing: mysteriously, sometimes one hunter catches many and the other one few or none.
		The deciding factor in Willow grouse hunting is the size of the loop in the trap.

	Willow Ptarmigan.--Willow Grouse
		The Willow Grouse differs in its habits from the Canada Grouse in several remarkable circumstances.
		This is the only American species of Grouse I am acquainted with that possesses these habits; in all others found in the United States, the male not only leaves the female as soon as incubation has commenced, but both fly from man and urge their young to do the same from their earliest age.
		The Willow Ptarmigan, moreover, join their broods whenever an opportunity offers, and we found flocks of old and young, in which the latter were of very different sizes.

	NUTRITION OF WILLOW PTARMIGAN IN NORTHERN ALASKA
		The total amount of willow used during the winter is less in samples collected in the southern part of the wintering range (Figure 3), while the amount of birch and aspen increases there.
		In winter, the birds depend on the buds and twigs of willow (Salix spp.) for their nutrition; up to 94 per cent of the total diet is willow and 80 per cent of that may be of a single species (S. alaxensis).
		Willow Ptarmigan have perhaps a more spe- cialized and uniform diet than any other northern animal since during many winter months up to 94 per cent of their diet consists of buds and twigs of willow, and 80 per cent of this may be of a single species.

	Rock Ptarmigan
		The Rock Grouse is found also on Melville Peninsula and the Barren Grounds, seldom going farther south in winter than latitude 63 degrees in the interior, but descending along the coast of Hudson's Bay to latitude 58 degrees, and in severe seasons still farther to the southward.
		The Rock Grouse in its manners and mode of living resembles the Willow Grouse, except that it does not retire so far into the woody country in winter.
		Contrary, however, to what HEARNE says, it is frequent in open woods on the borders of lakes in that season, particularly in the 65th parallel of latitude, though perhaps the bulk of the species remains on the skirts of the Barren Grounds.

		A stocky, chicken-like bird with short, rounded wings, the willow ptarmigan Lagopus lagopus is the state bird of Alaska and the largest of the three ptarmigan species, reaching a length of approximately 16 inches.
		Also known as the common ptarmigan, snow grouse, white grouse, willow grouse or willow partridge, the willow ptarmigan can be distinguished from all other members of the grouse family by the dense mattings of stiff feathers covering its lower legs and toes.
		Like other grouse, the willow ptarmigan is mainly herbivorous, favoring the leaves and buds of willows, birches and alders in addition to berries and insects.

		They were either willow grouse or ptarmigan, for both species are roughly the same size, and have white wings during summer.
		In Scotland it is not uncommon to encounter both ptarmigan and the willow grouse's cousin, the red grouse, at the same altitude, but seldom in the same habitat.
		In contrast the red grouse (unlike the willow grouse) retains the distinctive reddish-brown plumage throughout the year, that gives the bird its name.

	GROUSE IDEAS
		The objective of this is to keep young grouse, whose immune systems have not yet "toughened up", away from parasites (such as worms, mites, etc) and bacteria as much as possible.
		I never medicate my grouse unless they are ill, or sharing a pen with one that is, and I rarely medicate or worm grouse by putting the treatment in their drinking water.
		This is because frequently grouse will not use their water founts for several days, preferring to get their moisture from the green foods they eat.

		The willow grouse is widespread on the tundra-like alpine moors and in the brushwood along mountain streams and lake shores, and it is often found sitting high up in the brushwood forest along the mountainsides in the bare region above the tree line.
		Grouse hunting in the area between Alisjaure and the Abiskojaure cottages, around the Kieron Pass, can be good, but this area is often more populated than the mountains in general, as Kungsleden runs through the whole area.
		Some of the valleys in this high alpine region offer good grouse and willow grouse hunting, but the real eldorado for the grouse hunter is in the Municipality of Gällivare, south-west and west of Nikkaluokta towards the upper and lower Kaitum lakes and the well-known fishing camp of Tjuonajokk.
