The Living Forest (99) : Common Snowberry

In the forest, its white fruit is an important winter food source for quail and pheasant, but is considered poisonous to humans.
When the white berries are broken open, the fruit inside looks like fine, sparkling granular snow (hence its name).

Great shot and an interesting text. I was unaware that a berry would be poisonous for humans while a source of food for birds. Interesting...Deryck
