Buff alo bison partridge and pheasant names clarified
In Gameland comments the author explains American wildlife naming customs. The buffalo in the United States is a bison while the partridge of Michigan and the pheasant of Pennsylvania and other states refer to ruffed grouse. The rabbit is a hare. Both grouse species are variably called pheasant pare fridge and patrige, with pinnated grouse known as prairie chicken. The term prairie chicken suits pinnated grouse but partridge and pheasant are European names and should not be used for our grouse.
