Here in Ohio the wild Berry's are falling from the trees. They are on the roads, streets, and of course the bicycle paths everywhere.
I don't know the name of the Berry's. I do know they attract all sorts of birds and critters (including deer) after the easy sweet treat. I am pretty sure the same Berry's can be found all around the mid-west (and that many other such hazards are likely also out there). Last year when passing the dark berry stained asphalt I came within inches of two deer. Luckily I was a fast moving target as I scared one of the deer.... but was gone before there was time to react.
