I saw the same bird again this morning. This time from both the side and head
on. The streaks on the breast look to wide and "fuzzy" to be a Cassins Finch
compared to what I see in my field guides. Therefore, I think this is just a
Purple Finch afterall.

Has anybody spotted any Cassin Finches West of the Cascades recently?
