New York City shivered through its coldest spring in 50 years, and May seemed to disappear altogether, with temperatures averaging 7.2° below normal. Thousands of northbound scarlet tanagers and other birds-whose migratory urge is regulated by the lengthening of the days rather than the rising of the mercury-starved to death for lack of caterpillars, which hatched three weeks late...
