## Claims

### Claim 1

A game call holder, comprising:
a housing disposing a shaker motor and a power source;
wherein the housing is bird shaped;
wherein the housing floats upon a body of water;
a shaker motor, a lift wheel, and a lifter,
wherein the shaker motor is coupled to the lift wheel,
wherein the lift wheel is coupled to the lifter, wherein movement of the lift wheel in a circular path causes the lifter to move vertically moving the game call holder vertically upon the body of water, and
wherein the lifter further comprises an embedded magnet, wherein the shaker motor detects the position of the embedded magnet;
a remote control selectively activating the shaker motor; wherein the shaker motor moves the game call holder up and down upon the body of water;
spring disposed with the housing;
a mechanical can call disposed with the housing;
wherein the spring moves the mechanical can call up and down in an arc within the housing;
wherein the mechanical can call includes an internal mechanism that produces a noise that attracts a bird when said mechanical can call is moved up and down in an arc relative to the housing.
