Surfbirds covers a broad range of birding material and our syndicated feeds make it easier for you to stay on top of what's going on in the birding world. Surfbirds News uses "Really Simple Syndication" (RSS) which means you can see at a glance whenever the latest news story has been posted even when you are not on the Surfbirds website.
Many ISP providers such as Yahoo! (and BT Intenet Yahoo!) offer personalized homepages where you can add customized syndicated content (news, sports, weather, movie times etc). Or you may prefer to use a desktop news reader (see links below)
If you would like to add a feed to your customized Yahoo! homepage, then copy and paste:
http://www.surfbirds.com/sbirdsnews/index.rdf
into the “add content” section of your Yahoo! page. Find the link that says “Add RSS by URL” Every time you log in to Yahoo! to check your email, stocks, weather etc, you will also see the latest Surfbirds News updates. Here's an example below of a Surfbirds News feed on a personal Yahoo! homepage:
