I've gotten some of my best yard birds while lying in bed. Some years ago, we had a Saw-whet Owl spend some time up behind our house, and we would go to sleep listening to its monotone whistle. On another occasion, a Barred Owl (right outside our window) woke us up a little after 4:00 am (Okay, we weren't quite as happy about that, the darn thing wouldn't shut up!) I think the best one was a Loon doing a noisy fly-by.
