Can anyone identify this berry shrub? (photo)
It's a tall growing shrub with dark branches, serrated leaves and bright red berries that grow along the stem singly or in clusters. It's a volunteer to our yard. I searched but can't find anything yet on the web.

1. I think I have an answer
I also checked at Garden Web and received an answer. "Prunus tomentosa."

I was worried about it being dangerous to wildlife but it appears that this is a Manchu Cherry. It's supposed to be sweet and good for eating.

I think that I'll still take a small branch with berry cluster to the nursery.

2. Maybe a viburnum of some sort?
The berries look like the ones on one of our viburnums, but the leaves are different.
