In Europe it is known as Willow Grouse. In the new world, it breeds from Alaska to Newfoundland, including the High Arctic islands. It was introduced into Nova Scotia from the Newfoundland population.
The Red Grouse is extensively hunted in Britain, as is the Willow Grouse elsewhere, especially in Russia.
