I found a good guide online: Rebecca, who offers tours and day trips with a partner. She has a nice website at Archaeopteryx Birding and Nature Tours.
She showed me around the area south of Orlando, and she was able to find a number of new species for me. She was also very laid back, which is nice for me.
