Pin Oak

Quercus palustris IDed by a very small leaf in the crown of the tree. Being a mature tree, the bark is also an indicator of a pin oak rather than a red oak: the tree has light grey brown bark with very shallow and narrow ridges.

Callery Pear

Pyrus Calleryana IDed by height (over 20ft), bark, and buds. I revisited this tree in the spring and discovered it is a cultivar of Pyrus calleryana known as a Cleveland Pear.
