An enhanced water fowl decoy comprises a head mechanically coupled to a pivot rod, where the pivot rod slides through a swivel barrel. The pivot rod is mechanically coupled to an anchor. The swivel barrel is mechanically coupled to the body; where the head resembles the head of a water fowl and the body resembles the body of the water fowl. In this manner the anchor coordinates movement of the body independent of turning of the head in order to more realistically replicate natural motion of water fowl.
