The waterfowl decoy flag may include a wing support, first and second wings, and a wing driver configured to drive the wings between stowed and deployed orientations. The waterfowl decoy flag may include a frame including a wing support and left and right wing arms supported by the wing support. A webbing mounted on the frame includes left and right wing webbing portions associated with the left and right wing arms to form the left and right wings.

Abstract: A container for holding aquatic live bait. The container includes a base having an interior for holding water with the aquatic live bait contained therein. The interior has an opening to permit the aquatic live bait to be inserted into and removed from the interior. The base includes an air diffuser arranged to deliver air to the interior to aerate water in the interior and a first air connection fitting fluidly coupled to the air diffuser. A pump unit is removably connectable to the base. The pump unit includes an air pump for supplying air, a battery for powering the air pump, and a second air connection fitting fluidly coupled to the air pump. The second air connection fitting couples to the first air connection fitting when the pump unit is connected to the base to fluidly couple the air pump to the air diffuser.
