This year I have Solomon's seal growing in my own field. Or maybe I've had it all along, and just never noticed it, because it's lurking in an overgrown area. Not precisely the same species I posted before; otherwise these berries would be hanging in pairs, not groups. That photo from Deep River County Park shows Polygonatum biflorum, but I think what I've got here is Polygonatum commutatum.
The berries are poisonous to humans, but according to what I've read, birds and bears like to eat them (the berries, I mean), and suffer no ill effects.
