You could be witnessing the emergence of a new species, Frank's Bunting or
Scott's Bunting if you are feeling generous.

Subject: [birdky] New Indigo Bunting tune

While helping my nephew top & oil tobacco a couple of days ago, I heard an
unfamiliar bird song from over the fence in a weedy field. The cadence was like
this - Tinka tink, ta tink tink tink. I was intending to go back with my
equipment and try to figure out what it was. Then yesterday morning, I heard
the same song on my own place. Had my binoculars with me and soon figured out
that the song was coming from an Indigo Bunting. I thought Indigo Buntings only
sang a song with 4 repeated phrases, like this - Tinka tinka, tonka tonka,
plinka plinka, planka planka. So have I simply been overlooking this song
variation, or have Indigo Buntings come up with a brand new tune, perhaps to
commemorate some important Indigo Bunting holiday?
