At 09:01:49 UTC the Mastcam Right imaged Voyageurs to verify the action of the wind on the material excavated two days before.
Comparing this image with that of the previous Sol (see https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/photos/a.1625578140858706.1073741828.1612043482212172/1781921341891051/) one can see many differences, although the center of the hole has been “cleaned up” by the laser shots for mineralogical analysis visible as dark dots.
I also note that the sand surrounding the hole appears to be compacted into a wet-looking ring, as does the rest of the excavated material that has been deposited at the upper left edge of the rock.
