Hannah and Erik Go Birding: Adventures around Morro Bay

March 20, 2026 by Hannah Buschert No Comments

The Morro Bay Birding Festival is held each January based in Morro Bay, but has field trips all over the region. On a day off from guiding, Hannah and Erik went out to visit a few of the field trip locations to see what they were all about. They watched the drama at the Elephant Seal Vista, tasted wildlife-friendly wine, and caught up with some wanted year birds, like Acorn Woodpeckers.

Written by Hannah Buschert
Hannah Buschert started birding in college thanks to a required Biology of Birds course and a professor who included Sir David Attenborough’s Life of Birds to punctuate lessons. Almost as if by accident, Hannah landed the dream job of Park Ranger in the Rio Grande Valley at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park where she guided many birders who filled her head with far-off destinations and incredible birds. Consequently, her beat is Adventures in Birding Here and There. Called home to the Oregon Coast to operate the family motel, in her free time Hannah leads Tufted Puffin walks and escapes to guide at birding festivals and explore the world as often as possible. Hannah is passionate about travel, tourism, and birding and hopes to inspire others through her podcasts: Hannah and Erik Go Birding, Women Birders (Happy Hour), and Bird Nerd Book Club.
