    Also I didn't think it was eatable cause i didnt see the scars on the fruit from birds.I did however see a bird grab a whole piece and drop it on the ground.I'd say there about the size of a blueberry and have a pit.Pretty flesh looks real eatable but small.

    Are we looking at a laurel's fruit?

    I'm not sure what we are looking at. I think were looking at Laurel fruit but I'm not sure. I don't think this fruit is edible? What do other folks think?

    Thank you Bleeding heart you may be right i did some searches on that name and found
    this ->http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ldplants/prla3.htm


    And reading about it under info link it says

    "Ingesting wilted leaves, broken twigs, and broken fruits pits may cause cyanide poisoning."

    Smart bird I guess!
