<br>
I am trying to transcribe a portion of a story told by Ella Mae Lentz called
"Coyote and Roadrunner". In this there is a portion where she
describes the Roadrunner character. Her body sways left to right and
simultaneously turns her head right, left, right, left. As her head
turns, her eye gaze also shifts from looking up to the right then up to the
left along with the previously described head turns. During this entire
series, she uses "one" handshapes to show the Roadrunner's legs
running furiously. Below is my attempt to write all this:<br>

<br>
Maybe there's just too much information for one sign, but it sure seems like a
single entity when I watch the video.<br>
<br>
Any feedback would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
