pokeberry

pokeweed or pokeberry plant: phytolacca americana

details I see:
One leaf has been partially nibbled on by an insect, and one of the flower stems offers a shadow on a dewy leaf. One stem has white flowers turning to green berries.

the berries are poisonous to humans, but loved by birds
