I Rescued a Stunned Hummingbird   Today a cute hummingbird flew into my French Door. I heard the thud and went to check. It was laying on the ground so I picked it up and talked to it in a soothing voice.               Took its picture and then put it in a corning dish with napkins, I poured some of the sugar water into a small cup and tried to feed him. I took a cotton ball and rubbed its head.                                 After a few minutes, it started to lift off and fly. First about 10 feet and landed on a bush. Then it slowly headed up into the trees.   I hope he survives as I think he was just stunned and recovered. ©   Kristin Hamilton  DRE #014092138 Keller Williams Realty -I sell real estate in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties commonly called the Inland Empire.

But how can you know without talking to a Redlands Short Sale Expert (That’s us!)? Have you considered a loan modification instead of a short sale? That... 02/15/2013
