La Copita had been hot and dry recently.  The maximum temperature has been remained around 100 ⁰ F in the last week. 

Soil water potentials in the top 50 cm was in the range of -4 to -6 MPa depending on the patch types and treatments.  Prosopis is doing very well, benefiting from investing "deep". Shrubs were doing not so well except Condalia. Zanthoxylum leaves were yellowish and sort of crispy, and Berberis and Diospyrus seem to have suffered second degree burn.  The bright yellow flowers from Cactus were so pretty , even birds can not ignore.  The herbaceous grasses were just totally gone (grass).

The shading structures were standing pretty well (Cluster and Grove), which must have resisted reasonable strong wind which might have blown off bunkhouse TV antenna.
