I found a beautiful paper birch tree on the campus.
It was very easy to see and identify because of the distinct features. The white bark and the thin trunk. I knew it wasn’t a yellow birch because the coloring was more white.
There was some early signs of budding on the branches but it seemed to be in the very early stages. There is no signs of flowering
Here is my post on iNaturalist it agreed with my decision that flowering is not occurring yet. It also agreed with me that it is a birch.
Here is a nice picture of the tree next to the bus stop.
