I used a Sony Handycam DCR-HC48, three sticks from a cottonwood tree dead-fall duct-taped together for a tripod, and two lenses from a welding goggle duct-taped to the camera lens. Location: about 85 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Part of the video, near the beginning, has been speeded up 400%. The image bounces around because I do not have a real tripod. Chickens came to watch with me.
