Antelope Island

We took a day trip to Antelope Island (the largest of the ten islands) in the Great Salt Lake. We broke down and bought an annual pass to the state parks since we seem to always be paying each excursion we take. We really saw antelope, allbeit they were a little far away:
We also saw some humming birds by the farm house:
And the highlight is the buffalo (American Bison):
I have been playing around with the Picture Controls in the D300 and took this set at VIVID +3 then boosted the colors in Photoshop some more.
We went during the middle of the day and the weather was wonderful; however, I really would like to go back in the morning or night for better light for the farm house items and landscape shots. Who knows, maybe some antelope and bufflo as well.
