Abstract
A wildfowl decoy apparatus comprising basically of a decoy body with wings spread as if in flight and a motor that causes a support arm to revolve around a floating platform. The decoy body is attached to the outer end of the revolving support arm. The motor attached to the revolving arm causes said arm to turn. As the arm turns said decoy is moved about in a circular pattern as if it is flying. By putting this apparatus on a floating platform, it can be used to attract waterfowl to any desired location. This can be readily converted between motor powered operation and wind powered operation and can be easily dismantled for storage and transportation.
