Mark McNair Yellowlegs Pair With Wire Legs

Mark S. McNair (b. 1950) Craddockville, VA, c. 2009 18 in. tall, 13 in. long

The undersides of the raised-wing bodies with carved primaries bear an incised “McNair” signature. This refined model received the "Poverty Island Yellowlegs" moniker, so named after McNair took an inspirational trip to the Old Lyme's Poverty Island at the mouth of the Connecticut River. The island has been renamed Great Island and hosts the Roger Tory Peterson Natural Area Preserve. Original paint with light wear.
