(raising hand) Ooh, ooh, I bet I know! :) Piece of steel in egg is held in decoy's body by magnet, released when stronger magnet in base mechanism cycles up -- or magnet is in egg, with piece of steel in the body. A great work.

Les,
Sounds good to me! I have another idea, but it is far more complicated. The simpler solution is usually the better one, so I'd put my money there.
Thanks for chiming in on this one!
