I call this art, but I think most birds are calling it "dessert." To be specific, these purple clusters are American Beauty Berries, or Callicarpa americana.
Prolific in the Southeast, these shrubs are found in rural areas where birds drop their seeds along fence rows, beneath trees and underneath my back porch. This fat branch of berries is lit by the afternoon sun. It's been conveniently planted by the birds near their favorite watering spot.
