Use the camera function on your phone. Bring the photo up then do a google search. Seems to be pretty accurate. But maybe it's just easier to rely on others.

They look more like crab apples to me, but the leaf isn't quite right.  Bark in one photo looks like cherry.  Cut one in half across the middle.  if it has a single pit, its a some sort of cherry or plum. if it is a star like a cut apple, then a crab apple.  If it has neither (small seeds) it is something else entirely.

They are in the prunus genus, but not choke cherries.  Lots of domestic cherries and ornamental laurels get planted by birds, so you have a variety of prunus sports that come up.  There is a native cherry called "bitter cherry" Prunus emarginata that might be a match, but hard to tell by the photos.  Bears love them all.

I have a phone app for plant ID. It said bitter cherry, although it's ben known to be incorrect at times.

The ones in the first two pics are not choke cherries. I have trees in my yard with those type of berries and leaves/bark and I have choke cherries. I have taken a few pics of each. The berries in the trees in my yard that are shown in the first two pics are already gone. If you look at the branches in the posted pics and my pics you'll see the red colored bark on the branches and the leaves are not the same as the choke cherry.The robins have already eaten the red berries but I still have choke cherries...see all pics.  First two pics are the red berrie tree like posted (minus the berries). The next sets of pics are choke cherry leaves and berries.

Have to agree with Buckcanyonlodge here.

Choke cherries are always in clusters and much smaller fruits.

The pics in the original post look like Indian Plum to me. Narrower leaves than choke cherry, and the stems come from a spur, rather than spread out along a stem.

Took your advise.
Google foo says longstalk holly native to China.
But the next close thing looks like bitter cherry.

So it will give you a few choices.  I guess you just have to figure out where you and Waldo or Dora are to make a decision. 😎
