Saturation in these Wildlife Photos

Received a Dell U2410 monitor for Christmas and am starting to use it with a macbook Pro to do some post-processing on photos taken earlier, such as these wildlife photos shot in Kenya. Up until now, I've done all of my post-processing on a macbook pro - primarily using Lightroom and Photoshop Elements and I may have been overcompensating for the darkness of the monitor. I have yet to calibrate the Dell and macbook monitors, etc. but it would be helpful to know how these look to your practiced eyes on your monitors.

2. Hyena

3. Zebras

These photos look pretty different on the two monitors, as you might imagine. I realized that they also look very different in the Lightroom develop module than they do in the library module or when they are exported. I have googled this and found out the reason this is happening but still need to figure out how to avoid tripping over this when I am post-processing....
Hope the multi-tasking of this thread/post is OK?! Thanks.

@Jsedlak - Sorry to hear that you are also having this problem in Lightroom. Any chance that Lightroom 3 has resolved this problem?

That would be what I am using. I will flat out admit that I am a beginner at this program, and color spaces in general. However, I have noticed exactly what you mentioned: much redder tones.
Edit: If I make a custom preset and use sRGB, the result is fine. I guess the question is how do I change what space the Smugmug and Facebook publish plugins use?
I believer LR default colorspace is prophoto
That might be the prob
When you are done editing (final) save as srgb .. Convert to srgb colorspace ..Convert Not assign

Since so many of you seem to like photographing birds (which I don't do as often as landscapes, mammals, etc.) I thought I would add this photo of a marabou stork - also taken in Kenya. Not the prettiest bird, to be sure, but it's hard not be impressed with its size and flying ability.

Oh, and I added the Marabou Stork photo as a thank you to you all. If you haven't already seen one up close, I hope you all have the opportunity to see the wonderful array of birds found in eastern and southern Africa!
