Nice find Sean. Indeed this is St. Paul's Chapel. There is also a chat at Trinity a few blocks south of St. Paul's.
Also, this past Saturday a Chat was seen on the west side of the island in Teardrop Park by another birder. This is part of Battery Park City. Possibly a third chat? http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32376410 Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC > On Nov 8, 2016, at 2:18 PM, Sean Sime <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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.
