service, dogwood or what????

Field side of the wooded strip growing with speckled adler is a bush/shrub that grows in thicket fashion.

In fall stems holding the whitish/green fruits are red. The birds attack the bushes heavily for the fruits. Heavy feeding and fighting over the declining fruit way into Nov.

I used to think service berry but now I'm not sure. Nearby there is also Elderberry, Gooseberry?, raspberries.

The deer browse the stems and since I cut myself an archway through for birdwatching cover the deer use it for easy acces to cover to watch ME. It does appear they tend to follow the path of underground water. Water table is high. In some places it is outright wet, standing water.
