Cigar was given his nickname by a game warden when he lost some cigars while stealing ducks from the warden's trap. Daisey and his stories are of folk legend. His life and decoys have been memorialized in a book by Doily Fulcher. A stunning composition of five yellowlegs with each having a different posture.
