I also had several female Purple Finches (Eastern in Sibley) yesterday coming into my feeders but mostly feeding on the ground.  Bold face pattern with white above and below the eye (lacking the eye ring of the Cassin’s) and dark steaking.  This year I have also had male and female Cassin’s for the first time so I wonder if they are mixed flocks widely foraging together.

Two Cassin's Finches showed up in my yard this morning at Ken Caryl Valley, JeffCo. They were my first Cassin's near home in 14 months.

Same here -- two Cassin's Finches among dozens of hungry juncos, House Finches and House Sparrows, and a few chickadees and towhees.
Cassin's is a new yard bird for me here in east-central Denver.
About 10 days ago, we had a first eBird record for Cassin's in Denver City Park, a mile west.
Seems like there's a Cassin's irruption of sorts going on along the Front Range this late autumn.

Ditto – I was thinking the same thing. While Cassin’s Finches are regular and, in some past years, common (6-10) at our feeders in pinyon/juniper habitat in Crestone, Saguache County, this morning I counted 32 individuals including only one adult male, with the rest females or immatures – bodes well for the species!

Me too. Just now Cassin's male on the ground below my feeders, foraging with the Juncos. It's been 2-3 years.
