Question
Wondering what this little guy could be. Found in Town of Lake George, Southern ADKs, NY. No flowers were present. Many thanks.
Answer
Dear SunnyMona, you have photographed a tree seedling of some kind. The entire-margined leaves are the cotyledons that emerge when the seed germinates. The toothed leaf is the first normal leaf produced after the cotyledons. Your plant may be a species of birch (genus Betula) based on what I can see, but I would have a difficult time until there are more leaves present. Best wishes.
