winter berries
Cotoneaster, I believe.
Donβt eat. Taste bad and may be mildly toxic.
Hmm maybe. The cluster looks similar to C. lacteus but the leaves don't appear the same to me. My guess was going to be Pyracantha even though I didn't spot thorns in the photo.
After looking at possible candidates, my guess is toyon Heteromeles arbutifolia:

Thank you, they look similar to cotoneaster, yet I think they're toyon berries (see also my answer to comment below).
