I agree. I think we've got a Silver Maple. I'll confirm it as soon as I have a chance to get back to it. Thank you all very much!
i agree with Lisa and dferris,it is Silver Maple.
Hi Scott. Yea, I apologize for the sparse information. I came across this tree after dark last night and won't be able to get access to it again for several weeks. So I plucked the leaf to see if I could make a little progress in identifying it. I will certainly try to get more information on this spotting soon and on other posts in the future. Thanks.
Hello Jake! As a wildlife spotting and sharing community, it would be great if you could capture the entire tree or more parts of it, in its habitat. This provides more information for others who may want to see, or who happen to spot, this and other species, or who may want to help you ID it. While it is possible to identify some plants by a leaf, it is not possible for all plants and there isn't any visual information on how the plant looks growing naturally. This is from the Project Noah Frequently Asked Questions: "Again, as our main purpose is reconnecting people to and documenting wildlife, we prefer that spottings for all organisms be taken in their natural environment wherever possible." AND "Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction." as regards the latter statement it is obviously helpful to have this habitat in one of the photographs. Thank you
