The berries might be some species of dogwood--the leaves look appropriate, but a botanist might know.
I have a handy reference, a Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Forests, from which I've taken the following:
Major fruit-consuming birds include cedar waxwing, catbird, & all the thrushes, including robins. There is also a list of Other fruit-consuming birds, presumably not major.
Fruits can be grouped into 3 categories: summer fruits, fall high-quality and fall low-quality.
Summer fruits are high in carbohydrates (think of summer berries), fall high-quality fruits are high in lipids (fats), and fall low-quality fruit are low in lipids.
Two dogwoods are listed in this source as having high-quality fruit--grey and flowering dogwoods. The list in not comprehensive and it is possible that other dogwoods such as alternate also have high-quality fruit.
Birds generally eat all the high-quality fruit quickly, which is just as well, since it rots if left uneaten.
Low-quality fruit (examples hawthorn, sumac, chokecherry, mountain-ash, roses, poison ivy, winterberry, red cedar, juniper) is the stuff that hangs around all winter & is still there when the birds come back in the spring. Kind of like leftovers...
