How water has been removed from the Arroyo, and as a result new foraging areas are exposed.

7 September
Surveyed the camp monte this morning from 0815-1030. Strong N-NW wind developed during these hours.
No clouds. Temperature rose from ~3°C to 18°C. The muck has several very well defined vegetation
areas, the dominant one being a poplar fringe and a Eucalyptus border. Of course, all trees have been
planted, and meat are introduced. A rough sketch at the works. (not really, good scale)

Along the SW + SE edges are extensive fields of pampas grass. To the NW + NE are swamps (now
dry) and short-grass fields. Chickens use all of the muck for scratching, thus we also have a few turkeys
and ducks
