Quittapahilla Audubon Society has posted a program and a field trip. The activities are open to people of all ages, and there is no fee. Registration is not required. For more details, visit http://www.qasaudubon.org.

Steve Rannels will present "Birding Highlights from Brazil" on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 723 Lehman St., Lebanon. Attendees are asked to enter the church from the parking lot off of Spruce Street.

The program will highlight distinct regions of Brazil such as the Amazon, the Atlantic Southeast, and the Pantanal. Rannels will emphasize bird life, but additional aspects of tropical natural history, including the diversity of insects and moths, will be covered. Rannels has been interested in the natural world since childhood. He studied zoology at Penn State University followed by a career at Penn State Hershey in physiology. Now retired, he is active with local bird clubs and conservation groups and is an amateur photographer of moths and birds.

The field trip will be held on Sunday, Nov. 24, along the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) at Jonestown. Participants will observe any flora and fauna along the trail. Attendees should meet at 2:30 p.m. at the LVRT Jonestown trailhead. There is a parking area on the northwest side of the bridge crossing the Swatara Creek on Jonestown Road.
