It's first light, and Barley takes his job as garden watchdog pretty seriously.
After all, who knows when a marauding rabbit might want some breakfast?
Not that Barley would hurt a fly, but the rabbits don't know that.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of things to engage a watchdog's attention.
After a quick bath...
...and a flip of the tail, she's back to work.
Despite his bad reputation, he considers himself quite handsome.
None of them seem to be too troubled by Barley.
Maybe next time we'll get a Rottweiler...

Meanwhile, there are plenty of things to engage a watchdog's attention.
In the old dogwood tree across the yard...
...a Carolina Chickadee has made a home,
and makes frequent trips in and out to feed the little ones.
After a quick bath...
...and a flip of the tail, she's back to work.
The much maligned Brown-headed Cowbird bathes next,
then shakes and sends out a shower of droplets.
