## Caption

Cows don’t belong in rivers and streams — especially in the U.S. Southwest’s riparian areas, that are home to endangered species like the Southwestern willow flycatchers and the northern Mexican garter snakes. 

In the newest episode of our Sounds Wild podcast, host Vanessa Barchfield goes into the field with Chris Bugbee, one of the Center’s conservation advocates, to explore what happens when cows wander into places where they shouldn’t be, as well as how hooves can change an ecosystem. 

Listen to the latest episode on our website (or find it on Apple or Spotify).

New episodes will be shared each week, so please stay tuned.

[Video description: Spoken audio with captions plays. Video shows four short clips: drone footage of cattle in a riverbed, a riverbed filled with cow hoofprints, a small group of cows running through a riparian area, and a single cow running along a riverbank.]
