Re: Flower/shrub id
Left - looks like Amur Privet hedge bush introduced in N. America; I got two hedges and they are in heavy bloom now; fine nectar producer, but my bees mostly ignore).
Right - looks like typical black berry (very native good nectar producer; North West depends on black berry a lot).
PS: of course, I can be totally wrong;
NY people should know best;
it would help a lot IF you pictured the plant specimen itself (not just removed flowers in artificial setting).
