    Abstract: A motion waterfowl decoy has a body with two sets of eyelet guides. Flexible, resilient wings are secured to the body and extend upwardly and away from the body. The body defines slots to secure the wings to the body by fitting the wings within the slots. An actuator is connected to the upper portion of the wings and passes through the at least one set of eyelet guides. The actuator and the guides are configured to confer movement to the wing by flexing the wing downwardly and inwardly. The wing may be covered with flexible material or have a flexible material secured to about a flexible resilient rib to confer more realistic movement, shape and/or appearance to the wing. Further the wing may include a hinge and a spring, wherein the spring is biased against the hinge to maintain the wing in an extended upward position.
