All branches were gone when I got there. I’m sure there are some there laying around but it’s not to important to me was just wondering if anyone could tell by the logs.
sometimes when I am in the woods looking at a tree I have to look at bark, twigs, endgrain and leaves to be absolutely certain, every species will have some variation. The I go to visit mom in south Mississippi and have to start all over again because they look different down there.
 
I’m no expert could this be red maple or something else?
Looks like a Cottonwood which is a type of Poplar.
It would have been an easy ID if the leaves or fruit/seeds were still on site and seen.
That a pretty big one too.
Looks like the saw that cut it needs serious chain sharpening as well.
I don't see any chips but lots of fine powder.
