Abstract
A waterfowl decoy comprises a body having a head portion and a body portion. A motor is coupled to a bottom of the body portion. An elongate rigid member has a first end coupled to the shaft of the motor and a second end coupled to a mass. The elongate member is movable by the shaft of the motor between a first position and a second position. The mass is sufficient to counterbalance the buoyancy of the body to cause the armature to remain substantially vertical in a body of water when the shaft of the motor is rotated causing the head portion of the body to be submerged in the body of water when the mass is pivoted toward the head portion and causing the head portion to raise out of the water when the mass is pivoted away from the head portion.
