After reading Ben's post this morning and knowing I'd be in downtown NYC I stopped by what I thought was Trinity Church, but is in fact St. Paul's Cathedral at Broadway and Fulton St. The chat I photographed was in plantings on the east side of Broadway just north of Ann St. There is a small turnaround with two Holly Trees in it. The chat would use this area as well as feeding on small shrubs with purple berries just south of that.
I was in contact with Shane Blodgett who I directed to the chat I was viewing and after he located it he walked down to the real Trinity Church at Wall Street and spoke to birders who had just seen a chat there as well. Seems possible there are two chats at two churches downtown.
