What’s in a name

One of my best photos ever - a Bald Eagle in Keating, Oregon.

A firefly is not a fly – it’s a beetle.
A prairie dog is not a dog – it’s a rodent.
India ink is not from India. It’s from China and Egypt.
A lead pencil contains no lead – but graphite.
A Douglas fir is not fir. It is a pine tree.
A silkworm is not a worm. It’s a caterpillar.
A panda bear is not a bear. It is a racoon relative.
An English horn is not English and not a horn. It is an alto oboe from France.
A Guinea pig is not from Guinea and not a pig. It is from South America and it’s a rodent.
Shortbread is not bread. It is a thick cookie.
A shooting star is not a star. It is a meteor.
A funny bone is not a bone. It is the spot where the ulnar nerve touches the humerus.
A bald eagle is not bald. It’s got flat white feathers on its head and neck when mature – dark feathers when young.
A cucumber is not a vegetable. It is a fruit.
A jackrabbit is not a rabbit. It is a hare.
A peanut is not a nut. It is a legume.
A Turkish bath is not Turkish. It is Roman.
A koala bear is not a bear. It is a marsupial.
Dresden China is not made in Dresden. It is made in Meissen.
