I vote for the Anhinga Trail, very close to the entrance to the Everglades. As stated earlier, you will always see Cormorants and Anhingas, several other species of birds, crocs, etc. Sunset is the best time for lighting.

Mrazek Pond can be a bust or a boon and it's a small area, but I believe it's good at sunrise OR sunset...sunset being the best light. I have some excellent side-lit and back-lit photos taken at sunrise.

Eco Pond at the Southern tip (Flamingo) is usually a good spot. You'll always see Ibis', Green Herons, and White Herons. Sunrise is best.

If you have the time, you can start with a sunrise at ECO Pond and across the way to the Bay...then take your time and make your way back North to Mrazek, then Anhinga Trail for a sunset (5 pm in February). I did this one year and (except for Mrazek), it was outstanding.
Best time of year and places to photograph birds in Florida?
