I have several of these wild bushes around my property. The berries start out bright white then turn to bright blue. They are farly large woody brushes. The birds seem to love the berries. What is it?

You know, I am half leaning towards ignoring the berries and focusing on those lovely leaves.
What I see is a member of the Cornus family, or Dogwoods. Cornus stolonifera fits nicely, the common name being Red Stem Dogwood. In its description it says that the berries are pure white and then with a tinge of blue.
In this picture you get to see the Fall coloration, the leaf, and the blooms. What do you think?
Here is a flower cluster upon closer inspection
If you can verify if this is what the blooms look like then we might have it identified properly.
Let us know,
