Waterfowl decoy

A simulated dabbling duck, comprising:

• a buoyant duck decoy having a head portion, a body portion and a tail portion;
• a motor housing coupled to a bottom of the body portion proximate a center of buoyancy of the decoy, the motor having a rotatable shaft extending from the motor housing;
• a rigid elongate member having a first end coupled to the shaft of the motor and a second end coupled to a mass, the elongate member being pivotable from a first position and a second position, in the first position, the elongate member extending vertically downwardly from the body portion and, in the second position, the elongate member extending horizontally toward a front of the decoy, the elongate member having a length to position the mass in front of the body portion of the decoy;
• the mass having sufficient weight to counterbalance the buoyancy of the body to cause the armature to remain substantially vertical in a body of water when the elongate member is pivoted to the second position causing the head portion of the body to be submerged in the body of water and causing the head portion to raise out of the water when the elongate member is pivoted to the first position.
