REGION 9 - HUDSON-DELAWARE 
Michael Bochnik

Yonkers, NY 10704 
The demise of the Hudson Valley Bird Line has made my job more dif¬ 
ficult. Hopefully another volunteer can be found to be the voice of this 
much needed RBA. 
Hurricane Floyd hit our Region on 16 September. The storm doused 
us with 8-14" of rain and caused extensive flooding, but there were no 
related bird sightings. 
The first frost didn't occur in the northern part of the Region until late
