Claim:
A partially submersible waterfowl feeding decoy comprising: a hollow body resembling the rearward portion of a waterfowl mounted to a top of a submersible motor such that a decorated portion of said hollow body will float above said motor and a water surface while said motor will float beneath said water surface, wherein said motor drives a pump, said pump includes a pump outlet spaced separate from said body, wherein said hollow body defines a water line and wherein said pump outlet is adjacent but just below said water line, a box member including a top member such that opening the top member allows access to a chamber disposed within the box member, and wherein closing the top member forms a watertight seal between the top member and the box member, said top member further includes an aperture disposed at the top member, a power source positioned in the chamber, an electrical cable extending from the power source up through said aperture and electrically connected directly to the motor, below the water surface, wherein said box member serves as a watertight storage means for the power source and further serves as an anchor for anchoring the decoy at a selected location, and said electrical cable is attached directly to said motor and serves as a tether allowing said body to move on the surface of the water while remaining anchored to said box member.
