Winter holly (Ilex verticillata)

Abundant along an old abandoned rail line, these gorgeous native shrubs really brighten up the grey of winter. Birds eat their berries, but often not until mid-winter or later, when nothing else remains.

they certainly do add cheer to the barren trees, a hint of exuberance too..

Personally, don't think the birds are too interested as they taste terrible, a very beautiful shot with a hint of the holidays!! BV

Beautiful contrast. I thought they were maybe Washington Hawthorn from the thumbnail. V

Great image, not The Red and the Black, but The Red and the Gray. Love how those berries cluster and string themselves along the branches.
