Abstract: The apparatus includes three 1.5 volt D-size batteries and two electric motors with arms and/or shafts extending to the head and tail area. The apparatus is mounted inside a commercial duck decoy and provides vertical head movement and propulsion with resulting water splashing and rippling actions when the decoy is afloat. These motions enhance the attraction of the decoys to flying waterfowl.

Abstract: A water fowl (e.g. duck) decoy system in which the decoy's wings (20/120), which are flat and both longitudinally and laterally extended by, for example, having one or more, curved lobes (23/123A&B, note FIGS. 1& 5B), producing a disc like shape, preferably of a size of at least about nine (9″) inches in “diameter,” with contrasting colors (e.g., dark olive & white; cf. FIGS. 5B & 5C) on its flat sides with one or more stripes on its lighter side, are rotated at a relatively high speed (e.g., ˜600 rpm+, e.g., more particularly ˜600 or ˜750 rpm or up to ˜900 rpm or greater), producing a “strobe” like effect for enhanced visibility of the decoy to flying ducks. Additionally, the decoy (1/101) has a laterally disposed, direct, in-line, DC electric motor drive (30), with laterally directed, dual shaft connectors (note FIG. 3) directly connected to the wings.
