“Come Bye” is the border collie/herding command to go clockwise around the perimeters of the pasture, it is called an outrun and Red’s are a ballet, beautiful to watch. The purpose is to keep the sheep together, to round up any outliers, Red has mastered this art beautifully, and I caught him at sunrise as the mist over the farm began to clear, coming bye to me.
