Hawthorn berries in fall. At some point the birds will come through and strip them off the tree.

Osoberries (Oemleria cerasiformis) in varying stages of ripeness. They turn dark purple when fully ripe. They are edible but don't have much flesh on the pit. This year they are abundant in the Seattle area, and I may try a ripe one for testing purposes. In the years since I moved here, they've suffered from drought and heat waves, where the leaves turned yellow in June and the fruit dropped off or was eaten by the birds before fully ripe.
