Don, did you taste the berries ("relatively sweet") without an ID?
Isn't that rather dangerous?!!!

Hi Don,
That looks like one of the Amelanchiers. Which one, I couldn't tell
you -- the taxonomy on that genus is pretty screwed up. :)
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say Amelanchier alnifolia based on
the deeper serrations along the leaf margin, but I'm really not sure.
