I'm glad you guys liked the photos. Thanks! Boa the tree with leaves just start to emerge and expand (in the left of the first of the six photos) is Quercus alba/ white oak (great trees but they're rarely planted here anymore.) 2 of the removals are Acer sacharinum/ silver maple. The other ( the trunk pick out of the deck and logs on the truck) was Quercus macrocarpa= the best oak in the midwest u.s. They often live 200+ yrs., but this one died a few years after being hacked/topped by a self proclaimed tree expert!
