In this episode of the Women Birders (Happy Hour), Hannah chats with Leyden Heredia AKA Asherita Viajera, a bird and natural enthusiast based in Colombia. Asherita shares content on TikTok and Instagram to encourage more folks to get out there and appreciate nature. The featured bird is a Nava’s Wren, a unique species found only in a small part of Mexico… paired with a pox and cervaza cocktail.

Women have been integral to birding since it started…but we haven’t always been recognized for the contributions and impact we have. In an effort to grow the voices represented in the birding community, Hannah started Women Birders (Happy Hour). Don’t fear – there’s a little fun too with a unique bird-themed cocktail.
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.
